Abstract:
In this paper we examine the evidence for detectable climate change impacts on shoreline evolution. In a sequentially linked set of models, climate change scenarios are taken from atmospheric climate models and used to generate time slices of deepwater wave climate, nearshore wave climate and shoreline evolution. The models used are simple, containing the key physical processes only. Results are based on a hypothetical case which has some similarities to a site on the south coast of the UK. Output from the model is analysed using a robust statistical methodology to determine the evidence for statistically significant differences between beach behaviour under current conditions and several future scenarios. Statistically significant differences vary with season and also with the combination of climate model outputs used for input. Summers are the only season for which all models showed significant changes, corresponding to an increase in the net eastward littoral transport.

Abstract:
AbstractBased on EU guidelines and national development plans, energy efficient process management has been slowly implemented in Latvian regions in the context of the Directive 2012/27/EU putting forward two binding indicative national energy efficiency goals for Latvia: (1) to achieve 1.5 % of energy savings delivered to final consumers every year, and (2) to renovate 3 % of the state-owned buildings annually. The aim of the paper is to reflect the management system of energy efficient processes in public and residential buildings in Latvian littoral regions of the Baltic Sea, which can be an important factor for achieving the goals of the Directive. The paper presents the results of the research on energy efficient processes in public and residential buildings in Latvian littoral regions of the Baltic Sea in order to determine the existing challenges. Methods applied in the research are data collection, grouping, analysis and comparison, studies of regulatory documents, as well as statistical data collection and analysis. Contribution of the research is the improvement of energy efficient solutions in public and residential buildings in littoral regions of the Baltic Sea by using the estimated energy efficient processes. The results of the research are of international importance and can be applied not only in public and residential buildings in littoral regions of the Baltic Sea but also in other regions with similar climate or energy efficient process management problems in order to improve the selection of criteria of energy efficient solutions and renovation.

Abstract:
Chronic coastal erosion problems have been reported in Campeche State; however, beaches and ecosystems have not yet been degraded to the point of being at high risk. A proposal for coastal segmentation is presented here, in order to rank the coastal sectors according to the urgency required for intervention; given that this approach applies a large – scale perspective; the analysis is suited to any other coastal zone. The proposed methodology hierarchically identifies littoral segments in three steps: 1) dividing the study area into littoral cells, 2) assessing coastal vulnerability and 3) identifying the immediacy of intervention needed for each coastal sector.

Abstract:
Littoral wetlands are globally important for sustainable development; however, they have recently been identified as critical hotspots of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. N2O flux from subtropical littoral wetlands remains unclear, especially under the current global warming environment. In the littoral zone of Lake Poyang, a simulated warming experiment was conducted to investigate N2O flux. Open-top chambers were used to raise temperature, and the static chamber-gas chromatograph method was used to measure N2O flux. Results showed that the littoral zone of Lake Poyang was an N2O source, with an average flux rate of 8.9 μg N2O m−2 h−1. Warming significantly increased N2O emission (13.8 μg N2O m−2 h−1 under warming treatment) by 54% compared to the control treatment. N2O flux in the spring growing season was also significantly higher than that of the autumn growing season. In addition, temperature was not significantly related to N2O flux, while soil moisture only explained about 7% of N2O variation. These results imply that N2O emission experiences positive feedback effect on the ongoing warming of the climate, and abiotic factors (e.g., soil temperature and soil moisture) were not main controls on N2O variation in this littoral wetland.

Abstract:
In the Galapagos Islands, where 97% of the territory is protected and ecosystem dynamics are highly vulnerable, timely and accurate information is key for decision making. An appropriate monitoring system must meet two key features: on one hand, being able to capture information in a systematic and regular basis, and on the other hand, to quickly gather information on demand for specific purposes. The lack of such a system for geographic information limits the ability of Galapagos Islands’ institutions to evaluate and act upon environmental threats such as invasive species spread and vegetation degradation. In this context, the use of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) for capturing georeferenced images is a promising technology for environmental monitoring and management. This paper explores the potential of UAV images for monitoring degradation of littoral vegetation in Puerto Villamil (Isabela Island, Galapagos, Ecuador). Imagery was captured using two camera types: Red Green Blue (RGB) and Infrarred Red Green (NIR). First, vegetation presence was identified through NDVI. Second, object-based classification was carried out for characterization of vegetation vigor. Results demonstrates the feasibility of UAV technology for base-line studies and monitoring on the amount and vigorousness of littoral vegetation in the Galapagos Islands. It is also showed that UAV images are not only useful for visual interpretation and object delineation, but also to timely produce useful thematic information for environmental management.

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 56, no. 12 (December 1, 1999): 2282–91. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/f99-161.

Abstract:
The flood-pulse concept (FPC) states that annual inundation is the principal force responsible for productivity and biotic interactions in river-floodplain systems. Somatic growth is one component of production, and we hypothesized that, if the FPC applies, growth of fishes that use the moving littoral zone should differ among years with differing flood pattern, whereas nonlittoral fishes would show no such response. Growth of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), species that exploit littoral resources, increased during a year having an unusual warm-season flood in the Upper Mississippi River system and was reduced during low-water years. Growth of white bass (Morone chrysops), which do not rely heavily on the littoral zone, did not differ significantly between the extreme-flood and low-water years. Patterns of growth of black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus), which have intermediate dependence on the moving littoral zone, were somewhat ambiguous. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the FPC applies, at least under certain conditions, to this temperate river system. Our results can also provide an important basis from which to assess some costs and benefits of water level management strategies in large regulated temperate rivers.

Full text
Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur une étude de la morphologie et des processus morphosédimentaires qui régissent la formation, la dynamique et l'évolution des flèches littorales sableuses caractéristiques de la côte sous dominance de la houle du Sénégal. Elle insiste sur la singularité de la côte sénégalaise à fort développement de flèches par rapport aux littoraux d'Afrique de l'Ouest à cordons massifs. Ces flèches sont construites par la dérive littorale mais l'on sait très peu de leur dynamique, notamment les apports de sables, leur redistribution par la dérive littorale, les relations entre l’allongement de ces flèches et les écoulements fluviaux et tidaux sur des embouchures fluviaux ou lagunaires déviées par ces formes, et les conditions favorisant leur rupture, aspect très important en aménagement littoral. La thèse, à travers une approche combinant la télédétection, l'expérimentation in situ impliquant des mesures de topométrie à haute résolution et d'hydrodynamique, et la modélisation conceptuelle, distingue des flèches à dérive libre et à dérive entravée et les mécanismes d'allongement continu ou restreint et de courbure de ces flèches. Ces aspects morphodynamiques intègrent aussi la relation entre ces flèches et les embouchures des cours d'eau qu'elles barrent, notamment celle du delta du fleuve Sénégal. Les flèches de la côte sénégalaise jouent un rôle important en matière de protection du littoral et d'aménagement des embouchures, et sont un maillon essentiel du transit de sables le long de cette côte. Les schémas d'aménagement de ces flèches et les embouchures associées doivent mieux intégrer la façon dont ces formes fonctionnent et leurs conditions de rupture
This thesis is a study of the morphology and morphosedimentary processes that determine the formation, dynamics and evolution of the sand spits characterizing the wave-dominated coast of Senegal. The thesis insists on the singularity of the coast of Senegal, the numerous spits of which provide a contrast with the sandy coasts of West Africa that are characterized by massive beach-ridge complexes. These spits are constructed by longshore drift but little is known of their dynamics, notably sand supply patterns, the way sand is redistributed alongshore, the relationship between these spits and river and tidal flux at the river mouths or lagoon inlets they divert, and the conditions that favour spit breaching, a mechanism that has important implications for coastal management. Using an approach that combines remote sensing, field experiments aimed at acquiring high-resolution topometric and hydrodynamic data, and conceptual models, spits characterized by free drift are distinguished from those with limited elongation, and the mechanisms pertinent to each type and to spit lengthening and recurves are analyzed. These morphodynamic aspects also include a scrutiny of the relationship between these spits and the river mouths they divert, especially that of the Senegal River delta. The spits of the coast of Senegal play an important role in coastal protection and in the management of the river mouths. They are also an essential element in sand drift along this coast. Coastal zone management plans regarding these spits and their associated river mouths need to consider more closely how these spits work and the conditions that can lead to their breaching

Abstract:
L’Afrique de l’Ouest est marquée par une urbanisation littorale croissante, née en plein contexte d’extraversion économique sous la colonisation. Partout dans le monde, on constate désormais une similitude des activités humaines ayant une influence sur cet espace littoral : à des activités identiques, pourtant, des réponses diverses sont observées. L’objet de cette thèse est d’étudier la gestion du littoral dakarois, en partant des interactions entre ses différents acteurs - professionnels de la pêche artisanale, acteurs publics locaux, experts, usagers du littoral et résidents. Les injonctions à faire de la « bonne gouvernance », les cadres juridiques qui sont en train de se mettre en place au Sénégal en matière d'appropriation et de protection du littoral, les débats sur la gestion locale et participative, représentent autant de figures imposées, de normes véhiculées à l'échelle mondiale qui tendent à désigner un contexte de gestion littorale locale difficile dans ce pays. Le terrain d’étude est construit à l’échelle de quelques quartiers, correspondant aux anciens villages lébous. Ces lieux sont avant tout ceux de dépositaires de l'histoire locale, emblématiques de la fabrique populaire des villes africaines. Les pratiques observées sur ces territoires nous orientent vers les débats relatifs à l'autochtonie et aux identités ethniques. Cette recherche est composée d’un travail écrit, et d’un webdocumentaire, l’un venant compléter l’autre
West Africa is marked by increasing urbanisation in its coastal areas, a phenomenon born out of the expansion of international trade in the colonial era. From this point onwards, we can note a likeness in the human activities that have an influence on coastal zones everywhere on the planet, although diverse responses to identical activities can also be observed. The subject of this thesis is the organisation of Dakar’s coastline, and it takes the interactions that go on between the city’s different stakeholders as its starting point, be they professionals of traditional fishing practices, local authorities active in the public sphere, technical and development experts, people who use the coastal area or residents. Pushes to impose ‘good governance’, the introduction of judicial frameworks that manage the appropriation and protection of coastal spaces and debates around local and participative control of such areas are developments that represent norms driven on a global scale which are then imposed on a local level. Such phenomena have tended to create a context of coastal management that is tenuous in Senegal. The field of study is built around several neighbourhoods that correspond to former Lebou villages, sites that belong above all to the custodians of local history and that are emblematic of the way the working classes have participated in the fabrication of African cities. The practices observed in these territories lead us into debates regarding indigenous sovereignty and ethnic identity. This piece of research includes a written thesis and a web documentary that together form a complete work

Abstract:
This research addresses the area of decision-making concerned with the management of environmental risk in the Arctic. Specifically, it explores the knowledge gap in the application of cognitive and management techniques for reducing or eliminating anthropogenic environmental risk associated with oil development in the Arctic littoral. Considerable attention has been given m the literature to methods for the management of environmental risk arising from industrial and commercial processes. There is also a substantial corpus of study devoted to the description of the Arctic biome, its biota and ecology, as well as to technologies for the construction of industrial facilities and the extraction of liquid oil. However, the boreal environment has unique properties and to date there has been insufficient consideration of the specific issues that arise when environmental risk has to be managed for an Arctic industrial development; in particular, whether there is anything qualitatively different with regard to the practice ofrisk management in the Arctic as contrasted with its application in other biomes. The medium chosen for this research was a case study of roadless oil development on the North Slope area of Alaska. Roadless oil developments, that is, development pads that are not linked to the national infrastructure by gravel roads, are a comparatively recent innovation. Their principal environmental benefit is that such construction does not add to the increasing network of gravel fill on a tundra wetland that is easily marked by vehicles and civil engineering activity; and once marked, bears persistent evidence of that disturbance. However, in choosing to adopt alternative logistics approaches to tundra development, choices must be made regarding the tolerability and mitigation of other risks, including methods of undertaking response to emergencies including loss of well control incidents at remote and roadless sites. The method for making the many choices that condition the environmental risk resulting from such developments is the system of enviromnental assessment and permitting current in the United States. To study this problem, the researcher collected a broad range of primary data during fieldwork in Alaska. The core of this information was a set of semi-structured interviews with persons either involved in the permitting system for Arctic oil developments, or likely to be affected in some respect by their outcomes. These data were subjected to a primarily qualitative analysis to develop a grounded theory of the decision process. The findings are somewhat counterintuitive. Despite a developed approach to environmental risk assessment and management enshrined in the system of statutory controls, there remain significant shortfalls in decision quality as perceived by those involved or potentially affected by it. The system in practice is not the site specific, linear legal process of decision-making that might be discovered in statutory instruments and official reports. Rather, it is better described as a dynamic network composed of many actors from a variety of nominal stakeholder groups. This network has an ad hoe structure based on a triad of basic roles, with some actors fulfilling more than one role as circumstances dictate. Its deliberations are iterative, complex, and only semi-discrete as previous decision outcomes influence later ones. Of all the issues that affect the process and its outcomes, it is the influence of time that is discovered to be most likely to differentiate environmental risk management decision-making in the Arctic from such choices in other biomes. Building on the discoveries made in the case study, a proposal is made for a method of rendering environmental risk management decisions in a more efficient fashion, whilst simultaneously preserving distributive justice and_ without recourse to legislative change.

Abstract:
This research focuses on applying littoral vulnerability assessment (LVA) into the coastal management process of Barbados, W. I. using a multipurpose rapid assessment technique, making the most of limited data and process knowledge. The conceptual and theoretical components of coastal vulnerability assessment set the context on which the LVA process is built. Three environmental sensitivity indices (ESIs) have been developed to using to a selection of the variables to characterise the coastline. Seventy four coastal locations are described according to the following ESIs: - Wave Exposure Index, Coastal Sensitivity Index, and Beach Aesthetic Index. These respectively represent the coastline being 92% being sheltered 64% having a high to very high sensitivity to oil pollution and 51% being of good to very good aesthetic quality Factor and cluster analyses were used to develop Coastal Vulnerability and Degree of Risk Indices. Twenty three coastal segments were analysed of which 52% were considered to be high to very highly vulnerable to erosion and potential storm wave damage. The south coast's most vulnerable locations are Casuarina, Dover and St Lawrence while west coast locations are Fitts Village, Paynes Bay and Sandy Lane. The highest degrees of risk locations identified were Casuarina, St. Lawrence. Batts Rock. Dover and Carlisle Bay. The research has also interpreted case studies using GIS and available socio economic information to quantify property vulnerability based on potential economic loss value. These results show that 88% of the coast is fully urbanized, with 63% being used in tourism infrastructure and having the greatest land value. The thesis also includes the construction of LVA profile model, which is intended to: 1) contribute to the formulation of future coastal management policies in Barbados and 2) provide an easy to implement monitoring procedure for small islands embarking on coastal management initiatives. The research demonstrates the use of scientifically valid yet inexpensive methods of quantitative shoreline monitoring and assessment, which could be of practical value in the coastal management of Small Island Developing States.

Abstract:
Face à une montée en puissance de la conscience sociétale et au renforcement législatif,les questions environnementales représentent un enjeu stratégique pour les établissements polluants.Inscrite dans le champ de la RSE,cette thèse vise à comprendre la décision de gestion des risques environnementaux au sein d'établissements à risques situés dans des agglomérations littorales françaises.Elle analyse les dispositifs d'évaluation, de gestion et de communication des risques environnementaux, appelés «risques industrialo-environnementaux» (RIE),et identifie les motivations et freins de ces actions tels qu'ils sont perçus par les responsables.Les travaux sur la décision individuelle face au risque,la théorie des parties prenantes,et la théorie néo-institutionnelle servent de prisme théorique.La méthodologie s'articule en deux temps:19 entretiens avec analyse textuelle,et 196 questionnaires.Malgré une prise de conscience collective des enjeux environnementaux,les RIE sont gérés significativement depuis une dizaine d'années.Si la réglementation et les valeurs des dirigeants guident principalement les établissements vers une gestion plus responsable,la complexité des textes réglementaires et le manque d'informations expliquent la perte de vitesse des initiatives environnementales (SME, EMAS, partenariats). Les établissements sondés adoptent des démarches réactives de conformité réglementaire.Les coûts,le manque de moyens,la faible perception des avantages immédiats sont des freins à la poursuite d'actions environnementales plus ambitieuses.La gestion des RIE apparaît davantage comme un moyen onéreux de légitimer et de pérenniser les activités que comme une opportunité économique
The increasing societal awareness and the intensification of the regulation make henceforth strategic environmental issues for pollutant sites. Included within the scope of the CSR, this thesis aims to understand the management decision of environmental risks within risky sites located in French densely populated coastal areas. It analyses the ways of evaluating, managing and communicating about environmental risks, also called “industrialo-environmental risks” (IER), and identifies motivations and difficulties of these actions as described by managers. The research is based on a multidisciplinary theoretical framework: the work on the individual decision under risk, the stakeholder theory, and the neo-institutionalism. The research methodology is divided into two times: a qualitative study of 19 interviews with textual analysis, and a survey of 196 sites by questionnaire. Results emphasize that, despite a collective awareness of environmental issues, IER have been significantly managed since only a decade. If regulatory stakeholders and leaders' values primarily guide risky sites towards a more "responsible" management, the complexity of regulation and the lack of information explain the slowing of environmental initiatives (EMS, EMAS eco-audit, partnerships). The surveyed sites adopt reactive approaches of regulatory compliance. Costs, lack of human and financial resources, and the low perception of the immediate benefits are considered as barriers to the pursuit of more ambitious environmental activities. Thus, the IER management appears more as a way to legitimize and sustain activities as an economic advantage

Abstract:
L’Algérie est un pays producteur et exportateur d’hydrocarbures, mais cette source de revenus qui fait vivre plus de 30 millions d’habitants sera tarie dans moins de 30 ans. Le spectre de l’après-pétrole se manifestera au moment où l’on s’attendra le moins sans qu’aucune mesure n’ait été prise pour y faire face. L’une des solutions de substitution aux hydrocarbures est de développer le secteur du tourisme. C’est un enjeu économique qui assurera des ressources en devises et leurs effets positifs sur la balance des paiements. Sur le plan social, il permettra d’accroître l’emploi sachant qu’il existe un écart important entre la demande et l’offre en matière de travail. C’est également un enjeu environnemental puisqu’il nécessite l’existence de potentialités de qualité pour assurer sa pérennité.C’est dans ce cadre que nous avons inscrit notre recherche pour un développement touristique en Algérie dans sa dimension intégrée, respectueux de l’environnement, en étayant notre travail en prenant pour cas d’étude Alger, la capitale étant la vitrine du pays. Pour ce faire, nous avons établi un état des lieux du tourisme en Algérie et des impacts environnementaux sur les espaces touristiques. Le tourisme n’est pas développé malgré la diversité des potentialités et les multiples stratégies de développement touristique qui se sont succédées. Par ailleurs, sachant que le secteur touristique subit les impacts des autres activités sur l’environnement, nous avons détaillé les sources de dégradation en revenant sur le cas algérois qui montre bien la situation environnementale catastrophique qui prévaut dans le pays. Tout cela a permis de dégager des perspectives
Algeria is a producing and exporting country of hydrocarbons, but this revenue stream which made live more than 30 million inhabitants will be dried up in less than 30 years. The spectre of it after oil will show itself as we shall expect least unless no measure was taken to face it. One of the substitution solutions to hydrocarbons is to develop the sector of the tourism. It is an economic stake which will assure resources in currencies and their positive effects on the balance of payments. On the redundancy plan, it will allow to increase the employment knowing that there is a distance mattering between the demand and the offer regarding work. It is also an environmental stake because it requires the existence of quality potentialities to assure its sustainability.It is in this frame that we registered our research for a tourist development in Algeria in its integrated dimension, environment-friendly, by supporting our work by taking for study case Algiers, the capital being the showcase of the country. To do it, we established a current situation of the tourism in Algeria and the environmental impacts on the tourist spaces. The tourism is not developed in spite of the diversity of the potentialities and the multiple strategies of tourist development which followed one another. Besides, knowing that the tourist sector undergoes the impacts of the other activities on the environment, we detailed the sources of degradation by returning on the case of Algiers which shows well the catastrophic environmental situation which prevails in the country. ll this allowed to clear perspectives for a development integrated of the tourism on the coast of Algiers, which can be adapted to every entity of the algerian coast

Créé en 2006, l'outil Parc naturel marin (PNM) a pour objectif d'instaurer une gestion durable et participative des milieux littoraux et marins, en France métropolitaine et ultramarine. Le premier PNM créé Outre-mer a vu le jour en janvier 2010, à Mayotte. Centré sur le processus de mise en place de ce parc, ce travail de thèse a pour objectif d'interroger le caractère participatif, et à ce titre innovant, d'un tel processus, dans le domaine de la gestion de l'environnement littoral et marin. Cette problématique se décline en trois points clefs. Il s'agit d'une part de poser la question de l'identification des acteurs concernés par la mise en place de ce PNM : la mission d'étude pour la création du PNM a-t-elle réussi à prendre en compte l'ensemble de ces acteurs et la complexité des liens qui les unissent à la mer et au littoral à Mayotte ? D'autre part, il convient de questionner les méthodes de concertation utilisées par la mission d'étude et de se demander dans quelle mesure elles peuvent être ou non considérées comme innovantes ? Enfin, à partir de là, il s'agit de mettre en évidence les conditions requises pour aboutir à une réelle participation des acteurs locaux à la construction d'un projet partagé de PNM.

Abstract:
<em>Abstract</em>.—A population assessment of Muskellunge <em>Esox masquinongy </em>in two connected north-central Minnesota lakes allowed evaluation of angler data when assessing various population metrics, including the residual effects of historical stocking efforts, as a nonlocal strain had been introduced into the native population during the 1970s. In 2012, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources sampled and marked Muskellunge using trap nets during the prespawn and spawning periods and electrofishing during the postspawn period, while anglers collected data from fish caught during the 2012 open-water season. Anglers released all fish after collecting a scale for genetic analysis. Microsatellite DNA genotypes were used to differentiate individuals, thus identifying recaptures, and to estimate ancestry derived from the stocked strain. Anglers reported catching 16% of individuals marked by biologists. Of Muskellunge reported by anglers, 78% were from the lake where they were initially captured while 22% were reported in the lake opposite their initial capture. Postspawn movements suggested that more individuals migrated from the lake characterized as having preferred spawning and nursery habitat to the lake characterized as having preferred summer habitat and prey. The age- and length-frequency distributions of fish captured by anglers and trap nets were similar, while electrofishing sampled younger and smaller fish, likely because it occurred postspawn when many adults had moved off shore. The best estimate of adult population size was produced by a model incorporating fish length as a covariate. Density was estimated at 0.70 adults per ha or 1.92 adults per littoral ha. Higher percentages of nonlocal ancestry were associated with smaller maximum size potential (<em>L<sub></em>∞</sub> ) in von Bertalanffy growth models. Our study described key population characteristics for a Muskellunge population while demonstrating that anglers could reliably collect several specific types of data that supplement data collected by management agencies.

Abstract:
This study area is located in the eastern littoral of the Iberian Peninsula; its importance resides in its Mediterranean ecosystem, complex topography, extensive land use changes, and intensive forest fires history. The study is done at the landscape level, covering a wide area for an extended period of time. This work uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS) techniques to evaluate the impact of spatio-temporal parameters on shaping Mediterranean landscapes. Interacting ecological parameters are analysed and correlated to post-fire vegetation regeneration in an attempt to understand its dynamics. The results provide evidence that the number of fires separated by short time intervals influence vegetation growth negatively measured as Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI). During this period, micro-climatic effects (soil and environmental humidity) are major factors influencing EVI-measured vegetation regeneration. The conclusions expect shifts in Mediterranean plant communities in heavily burned ecosystems stressing the importance of their correct short and long term post-fire management.

Abstract:
Chapter 8 focuses on the United Arab Emirates (UAE), led by Mohamed bin Zayed, and its newly assertive power projection strategy that includes establishment naval and military bases on the Red Sea, in the chokepoints of the Bab al-Mandab one of the most important global shipping lanes and the Gulf of Aden and its littoral territory—the arid nations of Djibouti, Eritrea, and Somalia to achieve dual geostrategic and economic goals including the acquisition of operational and management rights over ports and economic zones. The theoretical framework used in this chapter to asses foreign policy change employs simultaneous levels of inquiry taking into account regional and systemic effects, domestic influences, and the role of leadership adding to the literature on international relations and the Middle East in two distinct ways (1) by addressing understudied theoretical questions concerning foreign policy change in small states and (2) exploring the nature and motivations of the emerging trend of securitizing waterspace and shipping lanes in the Middle East.

Abstract:
<em>Abstract</em>.—Reservoir fishery managers have traditionally viewed reservoirs as stand-alone systems and emphasized in-lake management practices such as controlling selected fish populations, restraining and promoting harvest, and enhancing fish habitat. However, reservoirs do not always respond to in-lake approaches that ignore important factors operating outside the reservoir. I propose an expanded concept where reservoirs are viewed as parts of the landscape and influenced by tributaries, riparian zones, watersheds, and position in the river basin. The influence of tributaries over reservoir fish assemblages ranges from almost none in reservoirs positioned high in a basin where lacustrine fish assemblages prevail to a large effect in downstream reservoirs where riverine fish assemblages prevail. Many species inhabiting reservoirs typically require tributaries to complete their life cycle, or at least their abundance in the reservoir is enhanced by access to flowing water and upriver floodplain lakes. Riparian and buffer zones surrounding tributaries and the reservoir trap sediments and nutrients, reduce wind and associated wave action, provide bank stability and woody debris, and improve esthetics. Direct links between riparian zones and reservoir fish assemblages have received limited research attention, but evidence indicates that riparian plant debris enhances fish species richness, predator–prey interactions, and recruitment of selected species in the littoral zone. Imports from watersheds, including sediments, nutrients, and carbon from dissolved or particulate organic matter, interact to influence turbidity, water quality, primary production, and habitat quality. Fish assemblages are shaped by eutrophication, and organic detritus imported from highly disturbed watersheds may play a major role in promoting key detritivores. At the basin scale, abiotic characteristics, species richness, species and trophic composition, biomass, and population characteristics show longitudinal gradients along reservoir series. Basin-scale variables constrain the expression of processes at smaller scales but are seldom controllable, although an appreciation of basin patterns helps set limits for smaller-scale determinants and thereby management expectations. Extending the scale of reservoir management can enhance the manager’s ability to impact reservoir fish populations and assemblages and increase the effectiveness of traditional in-lake management measures. Nevertheless, reaching outside the reservoir through potentially segregated efforts of isolated managers may not be sustainable, especially if reservoir managers lack jurisdiction and training to reach beyond the reservoir shores. Thus, managers must participate in landscape-level partnerships to advocate landscape changes likely to benefit reservoir environments. Extending the scale of reservoir management does not mean that reservoir managers must become watershed managers, but simply that they should think about reservoirs as part of bigger systems and thereby network with those working upstream and in the watershed to advance reservoir issues.

Abstract:
New World railroads were seminal to nineteenth-century industrialization and European expansion. Funded by the profits of industrialization, the railroads opened new lands for agricultural and pastoral settlement, the produce of which fed the industrial workforces of the North Atlantic littoral while at the same time providing factory looms and foundries with their essential raw materials. Whether in private hands (as in the United States) or under public ownership (as in Australia), New World railroads were in managerial terms unequalled in the size and complexities of their organization. In the 1890s the power of railroad management was seemingly confirmed when they imposed dramatic reductions in wages and other employment conditions on their workforces. Where resisted, as in the United States Pullman Boycott, opposition was soon broken. Yet the managerial and financial strength of the railroads was by the 1890s more apparent than real. As mere cogs in a global production system, the railroads were financial victims of forces that they themselves helped unleash. As railroad-fueled rural expansion gradually swamped global commodity markets, the railroads found that the prices obtained for their core custom (notably corn and wheat) fell remorselessly. As prices fell, so too did railroad rates. While it was these economic mechanisms that drove management toward labor conflict, victories on this front did little to improve management’s position. The reason for this is that the railroads suffered primarily from revenue rather than labor cost problems. Saddled with large fixed costs, the railroads found that even the most severe wage and staffing cuts made little difference to their financial plight.
