| coastal development Concentration of human settlements, infrastructures and economical activities along the coasts, being these areas very favourable for trade, communication and marine resources exploitation; the impact of the accelerated population growth and of the industrial and touristic development in these areas has caused the disruption of the ecological integrity of the coastal zones | Küstenentwicklung |
| coastal development | Küstenentwicklung |
| coastal ecosociology | Ökologie der Küstenzonen |
| coastal ecosystem Marine environments bounded by the coastal land margin (seashore) and the continental shelf 100-200 m below sea level. Ecologically, the coastal and nearshore zones grade from shallow water depths, influenced by the adjacent landmass and input from coastal rivers and estuaries, to the continental shelf break, where oceanic processes predominate. Among the unique marine ecosystems associated with coastal and nearshore waterbodies are seaweed-dominated communities, coral reefs and upwellings | Küstenökosystem |
| coastal ecosystem | Küstenökosystem |
| coastal environment The areas where the land masses meet the seas. Coastal environments include tidal wetlands, estuaries, bays, shallow near-shore waters, mangrove swamps, and in-shore reef systems. The critical habitats of these zones are: feeding, breeding, nursery, and resting areas. Coastal areas throughout the world are under enormous environmental stress, which is caused by a wide range of factors, including pollution and the destruction and deterioration of marine habitats | Küstenregion |
| coastal environment | Küstenregion |
| coastal erosion The gradual wearing away of material from a coast by the action of sea water | Küstenerosion |
| coastal establishment | küstennaher Betrieb |
| coastal fishing Fishing in an area of the sea next to the shoreline | Küstenfischerei |
| coastal heath | Küstenheide |
| coastal management Measures by way of planning, prior approval of works, prohibition of some activities, physical structures, and restoration efforts to protect the coastline against the ravages of nature and haphazard and unplanned developments | Küstenzonenmanagement |
| coastal management | Küstenzonenmanagement |
| coastal pollution The presence, release or introduction of polluting substances in or onto the seashore or the land near it | Küstenverschmutzung |
| coastal pollution | Ölverschmutzung der Küsten |
| coastal pollution | Küstenverunreinigung |
| coastal squeeze | Küstenknappheit |
| coastal state | Küstenstaat |
| coastal transport of pollution | Ausbreitung der Meeresverschmutzung entlang der Küste |
| coastal water Coastal waters are typically characterized by a shallow continental shelf, gently sloping seaward to a continental slope, which drops relatively abruptly to the deep ocean. The proximity of coastal water to land also influences the water circulation. In the vicinity of freshwater inflows, the nearshore circulation is altered by the presence of density-driven motions. Coastal waters are under enormous environmental stress, caused by a wide range of factors including pollution and the destruction and deterioration of marine habitats | Küstengewässer |
