The objective of this article is to represent the wave-induced currents in the areas near the port of Ilo, with the use of SMC software and a self-developed program in Matlab. In the present study, the parabolic RefDif, for a monochromatic wave model was used for the wave module. The numerical model developed in Matlab allows representing the hydrodynamics of waves and induced currents based on the Navier Stokes equations and mass conservation, in differential form with two spatial dimensions (x, y) and one temporal (t). This model was developed taking into consideration the variables averaged in the vertical z axis and variable draft, considering the phenomenon of protrusion and refraction that the waves suffer when approaching the coastal zone of shallow waters. The model developed in Matlab was validated for the simplified case of straight beaches

“…Focus 4: the problems facing the sustainable development of port cities Natural disasters such as rising sea levels, tsunamis, and beach erosion caused by human factors has affected the sustainable development of some port cities [65][66][67][68][69]. The air pollution and traffic congestion caused by port production and operation activities has affected the air quality of port cities and the quality of life of their residents [70][71][72].…”

Port City Sustainability: A Review of Its Research Trends

In recent years, with the development of society, the awareness of environmental protection for people has been increasing. While ports promote the economic development and employment levels of port cities, they also have a negative impact on the environment of port cities. The sustainability of port cities is increasingly valued. Port cities face huge challenges, and their sustainability needs to be better understood. The purpose of this article is to review research on the sustainability of port cities. We used content analysis to classify and analyze the existing relevant literature, to learn about the hotspots and deficiencies of past research, and to propose future research directions. We found that port sustainability has become an increasingly important research topic during the past ten years. From the perspective of geographic research areas, European port cities are the hot spots for sustainability research. Regarding research fields, technologies, methods and measures to promote the sustainability of port cities are popular research topics. In terms of research methods, qualitative research plays an important role in the study of port city sustainability. Finally, guidance for future research on port city sustainability is proposed according to the review results.

“…The Almadraba Beach area has undergone important changes due to the maritime works that have been carried out, one of which was the attempted construction of the marina Puerto Amor, whose work began in 1980, but was interrupted, due to discrepancies between government agencies, until today [10]. However, backfilling works and the construction of the breakwaters began to be developed (Figure 1), although both remained in the first phases [9].…”

Artificial coastal structures, such as seawalls, breakwaters, and groins, can exert various impacts on the fish communities in the nearby regions. This study focuses on assessing the ecological effects of coastal infrastructure on marine environments, by comparing, at different seasons, the habitat complexity and heterogeneity, as well as their effects on fish assemblages, between the artificial habitat created with the intention of constructing a marina (Puerto Amor) and the natural habitats surrounding the Cabo de la Huerta area in Alicante (Spain). Employing an asymmetric design and examining two temporal and spatial scales, we utilized visual censuses in snorkeling to gauge the abundance and size of fish species, alongside various parameters related to habitat complexity and heterogeneity. The overarching hypothesis is that fish populations associated with artificial habitats will differ in terms of abundance, biomass, species richness, and diversity compared to fish populations associated with natural habitats, due to changes in complexity and heterogeneity. The findings indicate a shift in fish assemblages; for example, the family Labridae showed differences between the two habitat types for several species. These changes were due to the influences of the Posidonia oceanica meadow and algae like Jania rubens; being influenced by biological variables such as Ellisolandia elongata, Oculina patagonica, and Sarcotragus spinosulus; as well as physical variables such as stones, gravel, and blocks. While there is evidence of alteration in fish assemblages due to changes in habitat structure, there is also an increase in richness (9 species/m2) and total abundance and biomass (1000 ind./m2 and 1700 g/m2, respectively) in the artificial habitat. Multivariate analyses reveal that the fish community in Puerto Amor is less homogeneous than the one in the natural habitat. However, these analyses also indicate an overlap between the communities of both habitats, suggesting substantial similarity despite the noted differences. Consequently, although the habitat alteration has impacted fish populations, it has not diminished abundance, biomass, or species richness. In conclusion, the artificial rocky habitat resulting from the construction attempt at Puerto Amor harbor has fish populations with ecological significance and its removal could lead to undesirable impacts in the area, as the fish assemblages have become well established.
