“…Coastal vulnerability and landfill screening assessments typically provide relative, not absolute, indications of risk by considering parameters that represent the vulnerability of receptors to specific hazards or drivers using the best available datasets (Sayers et al 2003;Rygel et al 2006;Kumar et al 2010;Wamsley 2015). Therefore, to assess the risk of waste being released (hereinafter referred to as the waste release index) this research has identified parameters to represent coastal drivers (e.g., wave action) and landfill vulnerability (i.e., likelihood of the landfill releasing waste).…”

Globally there are significant numbers of historic landfills, and in England alone there are over 1200 in low-lying coastal areas. Approximately one-third of these historic coastal landfills are near designated ecological sites, and without intervention, 10% are expected to start eroding within 40 years. Indeed, some sites are already eroding and releasing waste, and erosion is likely to become more common with the anticipated effects of climate change. Mitigating the pollution risk from all historic coastal landfills under threat of erosion would be prohibitively expensive; consequently, it is necessary to understand which sites pose the greatest pollution risk to prioritise management resources. This paper proposes a new risk screening assessment that can support coastal managers in identifying which historic coastal landfills pose the greatest pollution risk at a national scale for minimal cost using existing datasets. The proposed method determines an overall risk index for each site by considering the risk of pollution from eroding historic coastal landfills in two stages: the first stage assesses the risk of waste being released (waste release index), and the second assesses the risk to various receptors (pollution index). The highest risk sites can then be prioritised for further investigation or remediation.

“…While in zone 3 happened accretion marked with silting area of former pond and several time this often used as location of planting program (fig 3). Coastal areas that has additional land due to sedimentation are considered to have a tendency to be less vulnerable areas) [10], this is due to the growing substrate that became the medium of growing seedling mangrove.…”

Abstract. Some functions of mangrove areas in coastal ecosystems as a green belt, because mangrove serves as a protector of the beach from the sea waves, as a good habitat for coastal biota and for nutrition supply. Decreased condition or degradation of mangrove habitat caused by several oceanographic factors. Mangrove habitats have some specific characteristics such as salinity, tides, and muddy substrates. Considering the role of mangrove area is very important, it is necessary to study about the potential of mangrove habitat so that the habitat level of mangrove habitat in the east coast of Semarang city is known. The purpose of this research is to obtain an index and condition of habitat of mangrove habitat at location of research based on tidal, salinity, substrate type, coastline change. Observation by using purposive method and calculation of habitat index value of mangrove habitat using CVI (Coastal Vulnerability Index) method with scores divided into 3 groups namely low, medium and high. The results showed that there is a zone of research belonging to the medium vulnerability category with the most influential variables is because there is abrasion that sweeps the mangrove substrate. Trimulyo mangrove habitat has high vulnerable variable of tidal frequency, then based on value variable Salinity is categorized as low vulnerability, whereas for mangrove habitat vulnerability based on variable type of substrate belong to low and medium vulnerability category. The CVI values of mangrove habitats divided into zones 1; 2; and 3 were found to varying values of 1.54; 3.79; 1.09, it indicates that there is a zone with the vulnerability of mangrove habitat at the study site belonging to low and medium vulnerability category.

“…The mangroves and associates are likely to become vulnerable in near future due to both man-made and natural threats (Kathiresan, 2010). The Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) study also showed that some part in coastal area of Kendrapara district (close to Dhamara mouth) has high risk of vulnerable to coastal change (Kumar, et al, 2010). Many species of this wetland is under pressure of extinction (Panda et al, 2013) and must be conserved before the genetic erosion.…”
