“…Remnants of the Laurentide ice sheet retreated from PEI ~10,000 years before the present [33]. Regional estuary morphometries include microtidal funnel-shaped drowned rivers or bar-built types [1,34]. PEI estuaries are generally well mixed due to relatively small river discharges that create relatively abrupt transitions from fresh to polyhaline salinities [16].…”

Estuaries are productive systems with rapid changes in natural stressors, such as salinity, that make perturbation detection challenging. Amphipods are vital to estuarine assemblages and may serve as anthropogenic stress indicators. However, practical methods of monitoring species composition and abundance are lacking. This study aims to describe the spatial patterns of four Gammarus spp. in northwest Atlantic estuaries and to compare their compositions and abundances between collection methods using artificial substrates, macrophyte raking, light-baited traps, and species-specific quantitative PCR analyses from sediment environmental DNA (eDNA). Sampling occurred in upper, mid, and lower estuary zones within three estuaries of Prince Edward Island (Canada). G. tigrinus was rarely found in the upper zones with any method. G. mucronatus was predominant in the upper–mid zones across the physical methods, and its abundance declined with increasing salinity. G. lawrencianus was a dominant species across zones, but its abundance did not change with salinity. G. oceanicus was predominant in lower-zone artificial substrates. Species abundances generally correlated with physical collection methods. Sediment eDNA did not detect the spatial effects observed via the physical methods but was correlated with the mean counts of G. mucronatus. The Gammarus spp. assemblages are spatially partitioned in short estuaries, though the sampling method is critical when interpreting estuary patterns. Though multiple methods are ideal for compositional comparisons, abundance monitoring should employ light traps.

“…Geomorphological factors greatly affect vegetation around the coast (Crotty and Angelini, 2020). Exploitation of tidal energy is very high, but consideration of geomorphological and ecological factors must be prioritized (Catto, 2020). The conversion of coastal landforms is the main cause of environmental damage (Xu et al, 2019).…”

This study aims to place the tidal energy installation effectively in Indonesia based on geomorphological factors. The survey method was used to analyze the characteristics of beaches in Indonesia. Mathematical physics model was implemented to find the new formulas based on geomorphological factors. Tides are the result of gravitational attraction and the centrifugal effect, which is the drive In the earth-moon system, tidal generating forces are the resultant forces that cause tides, namely: the earth-moon system (FS) centrifugal force and the moon's gravitational force (FB). FS works in the center of the mass of the earth-moon system whose mass point is located on the 3/4 radius of the earth. The style of tidal generator caused by the moon can be calculated by combining Newton's universal gravitational law .The results of this study consist of F = m ac, where the style of the tidal generator caused by the moon can be calculated by combining newton's universal gravitational law in equation and newton's second law of motion in Equation. The another results is tan = , where the formula takes into account constants (K) based on slopes. The last result is the constants (K) for each land form starting on 0,00 untill 1,00. The north coast of Java is more suitable for tidal energy installations because the land form is dominated by alluvium plains of the quaternary age with a lower risk than the southern region of Java. The effectiveness of tidal energy installation depends on the characteristics of the land form. In alluvial plains, the quaternary age of the alluvial plains is more suitable than the hill form volcanic quaternary, tertiary volcanic, and tertiary holokarst.
