Macroinvertebrates as umbrella species on sandy beaches

Leonardo Lopes Costa et al.

Summary: This study investigated macroinvertebrates from sandy beaches on a global scale through meta-analysis, revealing that species co-occurring in different types of beaches have higher umbrella potential. Most umbrella taxa respond negatively to human disturbances, and these taxa also exhibit higher percentages of co-occurring species compared to non-umbrella species.

Perspectives for sandy beach management in the Anthropocene: Satellite information, tourism seasonality, and expert recommendations

L. Orlando et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the incorporation of globally available quantitative indicators in sandy beach management by modeling expert perceptions on conservation and recreation potential for beaches in four continents. The results show a high potential in incorporating freely distributed satellite information in sandy beach management, particularly those describing human patterns. ALAN and seasonal tourism magnitude, both anthropogenic, best-ranked as measurable variables explaining expert opinion on conservation and recreation.

The extended concept of littoral active zone considering soft sediment shores as social-ecological systems, and an application to Brittany (North-Western France)

Lucia Fanini et al.

Summary: The paper applies and extends the concept of Littoral Active Zone (LAZ) of sandy beaches to encompass ecological and social templates, in order to observe and manage this socio-ecological system. By extending the LAZ concept to different soft sediment shores, it aims towards a global, integrated relevance.

Ranking the ecological effects of coastal armoring on mobile macroinvertebrates across intertidal zones on sandy beaches

Eduardo Jaramillo et al.

Summary: Coastal armoring is widely used in response to shoreline erosion and threats to infrastructure caused by coastal population growth and climate change. It is important to understand the impacts of armoring on coastal ecosystems for impact assessments and design purposes. Studies show that the effects of armoring on beach macroinvertebrates increase from the lower to the upper intertidal zones, and the location of armoring structures on beach profiles affects the number of intertidal zones affected.

Low Densities of the Ghost Crab Ocypode quadrata Related to Large Scale Human Modification of Sandy Shores

Carlos A. M. Barboza et al.

Summary: Sandy beaches are essential ecosystems providing services for millions of people, but are threatened by human disturbance and climate change. Research shows that burrow density on sandy beaches is closely related to human modification and environmental changes.

Sandy beach social-ecological systems at risk: regime shifts, collapses, and governance challenges

Omar Defeo et al.

Summary: Sandy beaches, making up half of the world's ice-free ocean coastline, are facing threats from human development and climate-related stressors, which may lead to social-ecological collapses and regime shifts. Despite high recreational use, there is a lack of awareness among society regarding the risks faced by sandy beaches as important ecosystems.
