COASTAL INNOVATION: NEW METHODS AND SOLUTIONS THAT
INTEGRATE POSITIVE ADAPTATION

Ramachandran, Williams, Yamamuro
Fig. 1. Coastal management challenge: Ice free Arctic Ocean;
Fig. 2. Case study; Delmarva chicken production
Fig. 3. Coastal management problems
• Simple problem:– Point source nutrients
• Complicated problem:– Diffuse nutrients
• Complex problem:– Sea level rise
Fig. 4. Scales of coastal management

The coastal syndrome
Dennison, Frazer, Glaser, Glavonic, Guimaraes, McManus, Newton,
Nicholls, Orbach, Rabalais, Ramachandran, Williams, Wolanski
Fig. 1. Drivers for change in coastal zone
• Global climate change
• Coastal population increase
• Globalization
• Resource scarcity
• Emergent issues
Fig. 2a. Inputs to coastal megacities
Fig. 2b. Vulnerability of coastal megacities
Fig. 2c. Expanding coastal megacity syndrome
Fig. 3. Coastal compression
Loss of coastal fishing villagesLoss of natural habitatsReduced coastal diversity (habitats,
cultures, economies)Forced relocation; emigration inland, to
megacities, to 7/11 in strip malls

Innovations in science communication: Conceptual diagrams and environmental
report cards Dennison, Hart, Ramachandran, Williams and others
Fig. 1a. Science communication is a balance of quality science and communication. Fig. 1b. Science communication is targeted for a
wide audience
a)b)
Fig. 2a. Scientific writing; Fig. 2b. Science communication
Scientific writing Science communication
• Provide scientific context
(references)
• Text > graphics
• Focus on results
& interpretation
• Provide societal context
(examples)
• Text ≈ graphics
• Focus on
conclusions & recommendations
Fig. 3. Conceptual diagrams are ‘thought drawings’
Concept = something conceived in the mind (Webster’s 3rd Dictionary, 1986)
Diagram = a drawing that shows relationships (Webster’s 3rd Dictionary, 1986)
Conceptual diagram = A diagram using symbols to show the
characteristics of a system
Fig. 4. Darwin used conceptual diagrams to explain his theory of coral reef formation. a) fringing reef and b)
atoll
