"I am a journalist myself, working for a public radio and television in the Netherlands. As a radio reporter Ivisited Bangladesh just after the cyclone Sidr hit the coastal area in November 1997 (…) Itravelled to the islands on a boat. On that boat were two boatmen and one of them started singing while we were sailing. As Igeotagged this song you can see exactly where it was. Iwas staying at that time in Pirojpur, took a taxi to the river and got a boat. Along tall typical motorboat. It was a journey of three-quarters of an hour during which he sang two songs."

Santa Barbara Channel Coastal and Island fish survey from the Reef Check, 2006-2017
The data were collected by the Reef Check organization: https://reefcheck.org/ Every year, Reef Check trains thousands of citizen scientist divers who volunteer to survey the health of coral reefs around the world, and rocky reef ecosystems along the entire coast of California. The programs monitor rocky reefs inside and outside of California's marine protected areas (MPAs). The results are used to improve the management of these critically important natural resources. The data presented here were a subset of the data that cover the Santa Barbara Channel region, southern California, USA.

Coastal Digital Elevation Models and Transects of the Reef Island Fuvahmulah, the Maldives
<p>The data contains <strong>two Digital Elevation Models</strong> (DEMs) of the coastal zone in the south-east of <strong>Fuvahmulah, the Maldives</strong> (location: latitude -0.30° and longitude 73.43°). DEM files are in the file format <em>*.tif</em> (raster data georeferenced to WGS84). The DEMs contain elevation data on the area adjacent to the seaport. One DEM was measured in 2017, the other in 2019. The 2017 DEM is based on aerial imagery, recorded with the consumer-grade unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, or drone) DJI Phantom 4 in 2017, while the 2019 DEM was recorded with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro. The data was then processed in <em>Agisoft Photoscan</em> with a Structure-from-Motion - MultiView Stereo algorithm (SfM-MVS).<br> <br> In addition, the data set contains <strong>elevation</strong> and <strong>location data</strong> of 4 transects from sections along the east coast of Fuvahmulah. The data is stored in <em>*.csv </em>files, containing longitude, latitude, height and distance.<br> <br> Finally, there are two further data files with <strong>gridded topographic and bathymetric data</strong>, ready for use in the depth-integrated <strong>Boussinesq type model <em>BOSZ</em></strong> (see Roeber and Cheung, 2012; doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2012.06.001). Currently, the numerical wave model, incorporates lateral wave makers, so that the elevation data needs to be rotated to account for different wave directions <span class="math-tex">\(\theta\)</span>. The bathymetry was recorded with a <em>Dr. Fahrentholz LituBox 15/200</em> and truncated to 200 meters water depth. The coastal topography results from coastal DEMs, while the island's mainland is set to about 2-3 meters (no elevation information was available for the island's inland area). The data was gridded and interpolated onto the grid with <em>The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT)</em>. The grid size is 7.5 x 7.5 meter.<br> The files are in <em>MATLAB® 5.0</em> file format <em>*.mat</em>, containing the variables '<em>length</em>' and '<em>width</em>' of the domain in meters, '<em>X</em>' and '<em>Y</em>' (computation grid <span class="math-tex">\(x, y\)</span> in degrees <span class="math-tex">\(^\circ\)</span> longitude and latitude), as well as '<em>BATHY</em>', being the elevation data for the X,Y grid. In addition, friction values as used in the model is stored in the variable '<em>Friction</em>', as well as the grid increments '<em>DX</em>' and '<em>DY</em>' (<span class="math-tex">\(\Delta x\)</span> and <span class="math-tex">\(\Delta y\)</span> in degrees <span class="math-tex">\(^\circ\)</span> longitude and latitude).</p> <p>Each folder contains either a README-file or Jupyter Notebook (Python 3). The Notebooks allow the user to access and view the files (Python 3 and Jupyter Notebook installation required)</p>
Archive Documents Covering Rhode Island Coastal Flood Protection (1954-2002)
<p>This is a repository of nearly 2000 primary and secondary documents covering the politics of coastal flood protection infrastructure projects form the 1950s through the end of the 20th century. Nearly all documents are from the 1950s and 1960s. They are in the form of mostly scans and photos and were collected from public and private archives between September and November 2019.</p> <p> </p> <p>Documents include internal memos, project-related materials, and newspaper clippings from the New England District of the USACE archived at the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration facility (Waltham, Massachusetts), personal papers from Congressman John E. Fogarty, Senator John Pastore, and Governor Dennis J. Roberts archived at Providence College, over three decades of newspaper articles on microfilm from the Providence Journal and Evening Bulletin archived at both the Rhode Island Historical Society and the Providence Public Library, and additional materials associated with the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier at the Providence City Archive (all Providence, Rhode Island).</p> <p> </p> <p>A selection of documents from this repository were used to reconstruct event sequences associated with the Fox Point Hurricane Barrier in Providence Rhode Island and the proposed (but never built) Narragansett Bay Hurricane Barrier.</p> <p> </p> <p>This selection of documents is in an organized folder tree, entitled "Rasmussen2022" and is used to support the arguments in a climate change adaptation study. As of February 2022, the study is under review with the Journal of Water Resources Policy and Management, "Coastal defense megaprojects in an era of sea-level rise: politically feasible strategies or Army Corps fantasies?", by D.J. Rasmussen, Robert E. Kopp, and Michael Oppenheimer.</p>

Wave setup and wave-induced flooding dataset for "Coastal flooding and sea-level rise allowances in atoll island"
<p>This dataset contains the wave setup and wave-induced flooding from the simulations in a profile of a coral reef island. The complete description of the simulations can be found in "Coastal flooding and sea-level rise allowances in atoll island". The wave setup and flooding values correspond to the median values of the 3 simulations performed for each parameter combination. A measure of the dispersion of the three simulation is also given as the standard deviation of the three simulations.</p>

Gulls contribute to olive seed dispersal within and among islands in a Mediterranean coastal area
<p><strong>Aim: </strong>To analyse the role of non-frugivorous birds on seed dispersal, seed dispersal by gulls is expected to be especially instrumental in island ecosystems, as these have a smaller subset of frugivores when compared to the mainland, and because long-distance dispersal is required for plant colonization. Here we investigated the seed dispersal of olives by gulls among ten islands of the same archipelago to reveal if gulls contribute to long-distance seed dispersal including different islands, and how gulls' adaptation to domestic olives and individual differences in foraging activities affect their seed dispersal pattern.</p> <p><strong>Location: </strong>Balearic Islands in the Western Mediterranean Sea, Spain</p> <p><strong>Taxon:</strong> Yellow-legged gulls ( <em>Larus michahellis</em>), Domestic and wild Olives ( <em>Olea europaea</em> and <em>O. europaea var.</em> <em>sylvestris</em>)</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong>: We developed seed dispersal models of the two ecotypes of olives dispersed by gulls across an archipelago, based on GPS tracking data, gut passage time, and seed viability.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Mean dispersal distances were 7.67 (±12.48) km in wild and 12.57 (±13.08) km in domestic olives. Seven-point one percent of wild and 8.5% of domestic olives were dispersed among islands. Among these, 8.2% of domestic seeds were transported from large to small islands where gull colonies are located, whereas wild olives were dispersed in more variable directions. Such dispersal pattern of two olive ecotypes were consistent despite the differences in dispersal distances among individuals.</p> <p><strong>Main conclusions:</strong> Gulls contributed to long-distance olive seed dispersal including different islands. The seed dispersal of domestic olives to longer distances with specific directions may facilitate colonization and expansion of that variant if the conditions of seed deposition sites are suitable. Our findings indicate that gulls are relevant vectors for long-distance dispersal of large fleshy fruits in island ecosystems where specialist large frugivores are absent.</p>
