Near-shore resources

At the present-day stage of the basin development, evolution of the topography and sedimentation in the Black Sea proceed against the background of the global climate warming and sea level rise. This predicted process may lead to extreme and, probably, catastrophic events in the near-shore zone. In the practice of the use of the Black Sea as a natural resource, it is necessary to revise the measures for provision of the ecological security of the environment. 

Shoreline protection measures are response activities carried out on or near the shoreline, rather than on open water, to prevent the shoreline from becoming oiled or to protect vulnerable shore resources, such as plants and wildlife. The objectives of shoreline protection measures are to prevent oil from contacting or collecting on certain shorelines, to minimize effects of the oil, to avoid causing more damage than the oil would by itself, to minimize waste, and to use cleanup resources in a safe, effective manner. 

The sources of nitrogen for worldwide crop production are given in Table 19.2 [4]. Soils are the source of multiple nutrients however, resources of nutrients in the soil are always limited and must be supplemented. The atmosphere supplies some nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and chlorides near ocean shores. Water supplies some quantities of calcium, magnesium, and potassium. AH of ftese sources should be considered in the selection of soil man- age.m.e.rifJ3.ractice.s.- ...
