Numerical Modelling of Wave Reflection from Port Structures for Reliable Forecasting of Berth Downtime
(Corresponding) Chondros M., Malliouri D., Metallinos A., Papadimitriou A., Karambas T., Makris C., Baltikas V., Kontos Y., Nagkoulis N., Androulidakis Y., Klonaris G., Tsoukala V., Memos C.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Forecast of wave agitation inside port basins and consequent downtime of berth positions are of utmost importance to make a port “smarter” by efficiently managing its infrastructure. Within Accu-Waves project (http://accuwaves.eu), a decision-making tool is being developed to provide forecast data...Read more

Correction of the predicted wave characteristics using regression methods – a case study for the Iberian coastal environment
(Corresponding) Rusu L.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
The west Iberian coast is affected by various storms developed in the North Atlantic Ocean. For this reason, an accurate prediction of the sea state conditions is very important to manage the protection of the harbours and population living in the coastal cities. In recent years computing power has...Read more

Implications of small-scale fisheries in Istrian waters on cartilaginous species
(Corresponding) Iveša N., Buršić M., Gelli M., Barić O., Filipas R., Castellicchio A., Gavrilović A.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
In small-scale fishing in the northern Adriatic region, a certain percentage of catches consists of cartilaginous fish, and is still considered as bycatch. Despite global concerns about their overfishing, they are still understudied. In order to obtain data on the presence of cartilaginous fish in...Read more
Marine litter monitoring: the case study of Paros island
Marmara D., Kontomanoli Z., Cevello S., Ragkousis M., Kelaidoni A., (Corresponding) Krasakopoulou E.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Marine litter have been characterized as one of the main threats for societies, while among them, plastics have been found in various marine ecosystems. A monitoring project on marine litter, based on beach visual-surveys started in 2019, on Paros Island in the Aegean Sea, under the Clean Blue...Read more

Disinfection byproducts and related compounds in the coastal zone: a preliminary compilation
Alexandropoulou S., (Corresponding) Nikolaou A., Vagi M.
Topic:
Marine environment and coastal management
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are formed whenever disinfectant ingredients contact organic matter. Due to widespread increase in production and use of disinfectants and antiseptics, the presence of their ingredients in coastal environments is increasing. However, very limited scientific literature...Read more
