: The exponential population growth and increasing world energy consumption has prompted the World to search for new forms of renewable energy that could curb our dependence on fossil fuels, in order to safeguard the world’s environment from the looming threat of climate change. Tidal energy is arguably one of the most promising renewable solutions to replace and diversify part of the energy supply. This is due to the tide’s high predictability and technological maturity when compared to other renewable sources, as it is an untapped market with room for development. The main goal of this work is to explore the viability of powering the river-side urban areas, namely Oeiras and Lisbon, through the Tagus’ tidal energy. Such is accomplished by modelling the Tagus estuary’s hydrodynamics through MOHID – a water modelling software developed by MARETEC, at the Instituto Superior Técnico. Different simulations were made, for different river water discharges throughout the year, so as to determine the behavior of said tidal farm over the course of one year. To simulate the energy production that this solution would generate, two calculation modes were used – one through the use of theoretical equations to predict the energy production of a tidal farm, and the other through the use of MOHID’s built-in tool to assess a tidal turbine’s energy production. In the end, an economic assessment of such a solution is presented, based on current tidal energy costs.

: The sharing of space by various human activities leading to social conflicts and threats to ecosystems, alongside increased awareness of the threats to coastal zones has created the need to legislate on coastal planning and integrated management by developing international guidelines. A new management challenge has emerged due to climate change that had not previously been considered in legislation or policies. Therefore, the European tools and frameworks applied in Portugal, their implementation and effectiveness will be analysed. Extensive bibliographic data was analysed including EU directives and policies, and Portuguese governmental documents from national to a municipal level. We found that all the European Union guidelines and frameworks are being implemented in the Portuguese Governmental planning and are very well substantiated, whereas the base of all land management instruments (IGT), have a questionable implementation, mainly due to the number of entities involved and the long implementation process.

Wetland ecosystem of Bangladesh has great importance for the country’s economic, industrial, ecological, socioeconomic, and cultural aspects. Wetlands of north eastern region are very prominent for freshwater capture fisheries but a few studies focused on comprehensive assessment of biodiversity, conservation necessities, affecting drivers and its impact on natural wetland and dependent community. The present study has been conducted to identify the present status of fish diversity assemblage, dominance index, evenness and distribution of the species, conservation requirements, natural and anthropogenic factors affecting the biodiversity and human well-being of Dekhar Haor by employing qualitative and quantitative methods in two fishing communities. It was noticed that there were 69 fish species under 8 orders where 39 species were not threatened, 11 species were endangered, 10 species were vulnerable, 8 species were critically endangered and 1 species were near to threatened. Cypriniformes (55%) was the most dominant order, followed by Siluriformes (16%), Perciformes (10%), Channiformes (7%), Synbranchiformes (4%), Clupeiformes (3%), Beloniformes (3%) and the rest (2%) belonged to Tetraodontiformes. The present study identified the causes of biodiversity depletion and suggested management measures including establishment of the sanctuary, community-based fisheries management, use of legal fishing gears, proper implementation of fishing laws and regulation. Therefore, the findings of this study could be utilized to plan and execute appropriate natural wetland management strategies.
