| Popis: | A large percentage of the world’s population lives along the coastal zones, with more than half of the world’s population living in coastal areas. In such a manner, human beings depend on the coasts and oceans for their survival. In more than one way, the coastal areas remain an untapped and untamed resource; however, they are not uninfluenced byhumankind. The coastal areas are affected by the urbanization, industrial progress, and the progressive expansion of a society of leisure and crowd tourism. Yet, it is an incomplete view in which an essential element we often forget: the coastal environment.Global climate change may accentuate the social pressure on the latter, namely increases temperatures and sea‐level rise. On the other hand, extreme events are more frequent inrecent decades. |
