Erosion Hazard Assessment of the Cilento Coastal Stretch (Southern Italy)
Recent Researches in Information Science and Applications Erosion Hazard Assessment of the Cilento Coastal Stretch (Southern Italy) PAOLO BUDETTA Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering University of Naples Piazzale Tecchio, 80 – 80125 Napoli ITALY [email protected] Abstract: - This paper deals with natural and human causes giving rise to the coastal erosion of the Cilento shoreline. It is predictable that, in 2100, along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea a sea level rise varying between 9 and 30 cm will be attained. This increase will cause also a marked rise in the coastal erosion of beaches and rocky coasts of the studied area. The current state of knowledge about erosion processes affecting beaches and cliffs of the Cilento shoreline was shown. Finally, a hazard zonation of potential beach erosions and landslides also was proposed. Key-Words: - Sea level rise, erosion, sandy beaches, rocky coasts, hazard zonation, Cilento, Southern Italy. 1 Introduction The aim of this paper is to show the current state Although still controversial, the gradual increase in of knowledge about erosion processes affecting the mean global warming, probably induced in part by Cilento shoreline. This stretch of coast is crossed by human activities, will among other things lead to a some important transportation corridors (state roads rise in the sea level. In the last 2,000 years the sea and the Tyrrhenian railway) linking famous tourist level has risen about 1.30 metres, in tectonically resorts such as Agropoli, Casalvelino, Palinuro, and stable areas of the central Mediterranean Sea. Due Sapri. Furthermore, during the summer the whole to a probable effect of the anthropic global coast stretch is intensely inhabited and exploited for warming, the sea level has risen about 12 cm during bathing purposes.

Map 45 Tarentum Compiled by I.E.M
Map 45 Tarentum Compiled by I.E.M. Edlund-Berry and A.M. Small, 1997 Introduction The landforms of South Italy have changed in many respects since the classical period. On both the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic coasts the sea level has risen in relation to the landmass, submerging the Oenotrides islands which once provided anchorage off the west coast at Velia, and drowning Roman coastal installations on the Adriatic (Michaelides 1992, 21). As elsewhere in the peninsula, the increase in human population has led to deforestation of the hills, with consequent erosion of the slopes and sedimentation in the valley bottoms (Boenzi 1989; Campbell 1994; Barker 1995, 62-83). Increased silting in the lower courses of the rivers created marshy conditions in the coastal plains, which were only drained and rendered safe from malaria in the mid-twentieth century. The alluvial deposits have pushed out the coastline along the Ionian Gulf and the Gulf of Paestum, so that the remains of the ancient ports there now lie a considerable distance inland. Deforestation has also led to flash flooding, which in turn has caused rivers to change their courses. Such change is vividly illustrated by the Via Traiana, which crossed the Cerbalus and Carapelle (ancient name unknown) rivers by bridges that now straddle dry land. Other changes have been brought about by more deliberate human intervention. Several inland lakes have been drained since Roman times to provide arable land or relieve malaria. We have reconstructed these on the map where the evidence is reasonably clear, as it is at Forum Popili on the R.

The Red Coral Populations of the Gulfs of Naples and Salerno: Human Impact and Deep Mass Mortalities
Italian Journal of Zoology, 2014, 552–563 Vol. 81, No. 4, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/11250003.2014.950349 The red coral populations of the gulfs of Naples and Salerno: human impact and deep mass mortalities G. BAVESTRELLO1*, M. BO1, S. CANESE2, R. SANDULLI3, & R. CATTANEO-VIETTI4 1DiSTAV, Università di Genova, Genova, Italy, 2ISPRA, Roma, Italy, 3DiST, Università di Napoli Parthenope, Napoli, Italy, and 4DiSVA, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy (Received 21 March 2014; accepted 14 July 2014) Abstract The existence of deep red coral (Corallium rubrum) banks in the gulfs of Naples and Salerno (South Tyrrhenian Sea, Mediterranean Sea) is well known in historical records due to the heavy coral harvesting that occurred during the 19th and 20th centuries, by both trawling gears and scuba diving. In 2010 and 2012, during two Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) surveys on board of the Research Vessel (R/V) Astrea, red coral banks were detected in 16 of the 25 visited localities, between 45 and 150 m depth. Seven of these banks, located in the inner part of the Gulf of Naples, were already explored in 1918 by a scientiﬁc survey reporting the occurrence of red coral. Healthy populations (densities > 90 colonies m−2) were present only around the coasts of the Phlegrean Islands (Ischia and Procida Islands). Very low densities (< 5 colonies m−2) or the absence of coral were recorded in all other sites of the Gulf of Naples (including all historical re-visited banks), and a variable percentage of dead colonies was observed. This evidence suggests a huge state of stress likely favoured by the hydrodynamic conditions in the Gulf, enhancing water pollution and sedimentation rate.
