“…Furthermore, improper handling of these organic wastes can cause them to auto-degrade, which can result in the unintentional release of hazardous byproducts, including greenhouse gases (GHG), carbon dioxide, and methane, into the atmosphere (Cayetano et al, 2022). Over the last 60 years, as a result of these anthropogenic emissions, the ocean has undergone major changes (Rhein et al, 2013;Gattuso et al, 2015;Venegas et al, 2023)The most noticeable changes are the global dispersion of man-made pollutants, the warming of the oceans, and rising sea levels (Venegas et al, 2023). To avoid ecological and socio-economic catastrophes, it is necessary to consider technological approaches to resolve this issue.…”

“…Moreover, long-term impacts are projected revealing the greater magnitudes than currently observed (IPCC and Core Writing Team, 2023). Both terrestrial and marine ecosystems are affected by climate variability leading to ecosystem deterioration, changes in species distribution and abundance, and the quality of ecosystem services (Cheung et al, 2010;Grimm et al, 2013;Oliveira et al, 2022;Venegas et al, 2023). Climate change also generates drastic impacts on humans, for instance, human health impacts due to degraded quality of ecosystem services (Teasdale and Panegyres, 2023), impacts on human activities and livelihoods due to climate extremes such as storms, sea level rise (Cinner et al, 2012;El-Masry et al, 2022), etc.…”

Coastal and marine ecosystems play a major role in the global carbon cycle. Connected marine and coastal ecosystems are commonly observed in the Western Gulf of Thailand. Little is known about the blue carbon potential of these interconnected ecosystems and seascapes. This study aims to quantify blue carbon stocks in the interconnected seagrass-coral reef-sandy coastal ecosystems at Samui Island, the Western Gulf of Thailand. At each study site, the samples of seagrasses, algae, and sediments, were collected from the different zones along a transect of interconnected sandy beach-seagrass bed-coral reef habitats, and the organic carbon contents were quantified using elemental analysis and loss on ignition (LOI). Our findings indicate that the habitats may provide a potential blue carbon opportunity. With a total area of 178.04 hectares (ha), consisting of sand (47.70 ha), seagrass beds (122.44 ha), macroalgal beds (2.40 ha), and live corals (5.50 ha), the estimated carbon storage was as much as 9,222.75 MgC; 74.03% of which was stored in sediment, while the rest was as biomass (25.97%). About 96 percent of the total carbon storage was found in seagrass beds (122.44 ha) with a total amount of carbon storage of 8,876.99 MgC, consisting of 8,781.01 MgC and 95.98 MgC of shallow- and deep-seagrass beds, respectively. The carbon stocks in seagrass, algal biomass, and sediment ranged from 1.58 - 19.10 MgC.ha-1, 2.51 -10.45 MgC.ha-1, and 0.93 - 58.46 MgC.ha-1, respectively. Comparing the carbon storage at each study site, Ko Tan showed the highest value of carbon storage, accounting for 4,232.21 MgC, followed by Ao Phangka (2,901.83 MgC), Ao Thong Tanod (1,459.57 MgC) and Ko Mudsum (629.14 MgC). The quantities of carbon stocks varied considerably among microhabitats and the connectivity of these coastal and marine ecosystems may support the carbon stocks potential of the interconnected ecosystems. Ultimately, the findings from this study provide baseline data that supports Thailand’s nationally determined contribution and highlight the importance of interconnected coastal ecosystems in carbon sequestration and storage that should not be overlooked.

“…Downwelling occurs when winds push surface water towards the coast, forcing it downward and potentially transporting oxygen to deeper areas. On the other hand, wind-driven currents and waves can traverse vast distances, not only redistributing heat across the globe and influencing climate patterns, but also transporting nutrients, organisms, and pollutants in the water column [10,11].…”

This paper presents a comprehensive approach to forecasting hydro–meteorological changes in a marine area, i.e., in large bodies of water, from open water to coastal zones. First, hydro–meteorological factors, their interactions, and their implications for marine ecosystems are described. In addition, an analysis is outlined specifically for the Baltic Sea area. Next, the procedure for forecasting expected changes in major hydro–meteorological parameters in the sea is presented and a series of steps is accurately described. An extensive prognosis is provided for the southern Baltic Sea region using historical data obtained from the Polish National Institute of Water Management and Meteorology. The procedure is applied for seven measurement points which were assigned to four sub-areas for examining trends in wind regimes and wave height patterns using the authors’ own written software and statistical methods for data analysis. The model was validated within the southern Baltic Sea region. This paper also highlights the significance of forecasting for human beings, the environment, and critical infrastructure by proposing adaptive strategies and integrated coastal zone management in mitigating risks and enhancing resilience. Finally, future directions for research are proposed.
