Abstract: Coral reefs in the Gulf of Mannar (GoM) and Palk Bay regions are facing potential threats from climate change, sedimentation and anthropogenic activities. Considerably, coral reefs in these two regions are highly damaged due to frequent bleaching events caused by increased sea surface temperature (SST) recorded over the past two decades. Recently, during February to May 2019, mass bleaching event of corals was documented again in GoM and Palk... More

Abstract: With the continuous and rapid development of the country's economy and society, it has greatly promoted the leap of the marine economy and brought more severe challenges and tests to the protection of marine ecological environment. How to effectively measure the criminal law protection of the marine ecological environment and take effective measures Measures to deepen the effects of marine ecological environmental protection have become one of...

Abstract: The coastal area is one of the areas that is quite vulnerable to the threat of pollution caused by human activities, including pollution caused by oil spills (hydrocarbons) in the sea. The incident can be caused by several factors including the explosion, leakage of petroleum pipelines on the seabed, leakage of tanks or petroleum tankers at sea and disposal of waste petroleum products into the environment. Oil spills continuously can cause... More

Abstract: Coralline algae are globally distributed calcifying species and play critical ecological roles to marine ecosystems by contributing significantly to their structural complexity and diversity. Thallus surface types of historical samples in Sanya coral reef reserve were studied based on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) method. Our results show six thallus surface types within the study area: Corallina-type, Jania-type, Leptophytum-type,... More

Abstract: In order to predict the hydrodynamic performance of semi-submersible offshore platform accurately, based on CFD theory, continuous equation and N-S equation as the control equation, RNG type k-ε model as turbulence model, using the finite difference method to discretize the control equation，using the Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equation (SIMPLE) algorithm to solve the control equation，using the VOF method to capture the free...
