... ABSTRACT Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) launched a technical survey project in 2008 to exploit seafloor massive suldfides (SMS). Specific activities are environmental baseline surveys, development of environmental impact prediction models and examination...

... impacts of this technology on the marine environment, already affected by several anthropogenic pressures (e.g. fishery, maritime traffic) becomes increasingly important. Main goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the offshore wind farm developments and the associated environmental impacts...

... Abstract Offshore cages are designed to avoid further negative environmental damage in the coastal area while enable sustainable aquaculture growth. However, little is known about the environmental impact from this culturing activity in China. The objective of this study is to simulate...

... of mineral resources in the EEZ will be a key for sustainable development in Japanese industry. When marine mineral resources are developed, it is necessary to evaluate an environmental impact on the sea area and the deep seafloor. Then, a clarification is required for an environmental impact...

... emission and GDP produced by each industrial category are utilized. The environmental impact of an artificial upwelling technology using a seabed mound is assessed by using the Triple I. It indicates that the artificial upwelling technology will be sustainable when the indirect effect is considered...

... or unload the ballast, in order to modify the trim of the boat (Bierk, 1996). From these considerations, it is possible to recognise the relevance of a correct meteomarine forecast to allow safe navigation and, at the same time, reduce the unnecessary environmental impacts. Bressani (1999) has already...

... of individual samples in relation to the size of the environment studied, the environmental impact of this conventional research must be trivial. For example, the total area of seafloor sampled "destructively" by all the gears used by oceanographers in the 125 years since the Challenger, trawls, dredges, corers...
