No entanto, eles são os menos estudados em comparação com outras baías. Este trabalho revisa sistematicamente e sintetiza publicações científicas (n = 494) para identificar e caracterizar o estado da mudança climática em baías tropicais e apontar lacunas científicas. Entre as publicações em baías tropicais, 180 foram estudados na Ásia, 121 no Golfo do México e Havaí, 96 na Oceania, 32 na África, 32 na América do Sul, 24 na América Central e 9 em múltiplas áreas tropicais. Estudos de parâmetros biofísicos estavam presentes em todas as áreas tropicais. Os estudos relacionados à comunidade costeira, cultura e educação estavam presentes em algumas áreas, mas não no Golfo do México, no Havaí e na América do Sul. Os artigos documentam extensas evidências de mudanças climáticas, com consequências para sistemas tanto biofísicos como humanos. O aumento do nível do mar está comprometendo as baías costeiras e afetando os assentamentos humanos, atividades econômicas e serviços ecossistêmicos. Conhecemos pouco sobre os cenários passados e futuros das mudanças climáticas nas baías tropicais. A revisão identifica a importância da pesquisa de mudanças climáticas específicas que trabalha com cronologia histórica em uma abordagem multidisciplinar, bem como sistemas de saúde, economia, política, cultura e educação. A metodologia de revisão sistemática ofereceu uma ferramenta plausível e eficiente para estudos sobre mudanças climáticas quando há necessidade de identificar status passado, atual e futuro. Palavras-chave: mudança climática, baía tropical, revisão sistemática da literatura. 17 ABSTRACT Tropical bays are one of the most affected coastal landforms by climate change due to their economic, social, environmental, technical and educational vulnerability. Yet, they are the least studied compared to other bays. This work systematically reviews and synthesizes scientific publications (n = 494) to identify and characterize the status of climate change in tropical bays and point out scientific gaps. Among tropical bays publications, 180 were studied in Asia, 121 Gulf of Mexico and Hawaii, 96 Oceania, 32 Africa, 32 South America, 24 Central America and, 9 in multiple tropical areas. Biophysical parameters studies were present in all of the tropical areas. Studies related to the coastal community, culture and education were present in some areas but not in the Gulf of Mexico, Hawaii and South America. The articles document extensive evidence of climate change, with consequences to both biophysical and human systems. Human settlements, economic activities, and ecosystem services are being compromised by sea level rise in coastal bays. We know little about past and future scenarios of climate change in tropical bays. The review identifies the importance of targeted climate change research that works with historical chronology in a multidisciplinary approach as well as health systems, economy, policy, culture and education. The systematic review methodology offered a plausible and efficient tool for climate change studies when there is the need to identify past, current, and future status. Keywords: climate change, tropical bay, systematic literature review 18 LISTA DE FIGURAS Figure 1 - Coastal ecological, economic and social attributes classification of countries with the tropical zone delimited between 30°N and 30°S.

  • This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase. OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bird Islet (00S073E0013) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Bushy Islet (00S073E0014) OCEAN BASIN > Indian Ocean > Addu Atoll > Fedu Island (00S073E0008)

    28 August 1980 PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 93(2), 1980, pp. 421-434 A NEW SPECIES OF SOLENOCERA (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: SOLENOCERIDAE) FROM NORTHERN AUSTRALIA Isabel Perez Farfante and D. L. Grey Abstract.—Solenocera australiana, new species, a close ally of S. halli and S. melantho, is described from material collected in shallow water, 15 to 24 m, off the Northern Territory, Australia. This species is characterized by the antennular flagella which gradually narrow distally toward the 2 or 3 distalmost articles; the roughly lanceolate distal part of the dorsolateral lobules of the petasma which are supported by submesial ribs; and the presence of two pairs of thelycal protuberances on the anterior part of ster- nite XIV, the mesial one usually considerably larger than the lateral, as well as by the straight anterior border of the thoracic ridge. In July 1972, during routine fishery monitoring by the staff of the Fisheries Division, Department of Primary Production, Darwin, a collection of shrimps of the genus Solenocera was taken from commercial grounds north of Groote Eylandt in the western Gulf of Carpentaria. Since that time ad- ditional specimens have been obtained during the course of sampling of penaeid shrimps by fishery research vessels in waters adjacent to the North- ern Territory, mostly in Van Diemen Gulf, but also in other localities off this province by commercial trawlers. Van Diemen Gulf has not attracted significant commercial fishing for pe- naeid shrimps—the only members of the superfamily Penaeoidea that at present are economically important in northern Australia—and to make a preliminary evaluation of its potential as a fishery, a series of brief surveys were made between May 1977 and February 1978.

Anafre River estuary is one of the river estuaries that empties directly into the Gulf of Yos Sudarso. The amount of particles swept away and buried in estuary sedimentation Anafre inflicts not only the river but the Gulf of Yos Sudarso. Declining water quality of the Gulf of Yos Sudarso is caused by the influx of water from the Anafre River, whereas all Anafre River watersheds are located in close proximity to residential areas. This study aims to determine the level of public knowledge on the effects of sedimentation and community based management. Data are collected by field observations and interviews with the community, and analyzed using the qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that the community plays an active role in the maintenance and utilization of the Yos Sudarso area, because the gulf of Yos Sudarso serves as transportation routes, tourist areas, and workplaces (fishermen). The maintenance of water environment in river estuaries and the gulf is based on the principles of awareness and cooperation without ignoring the people's culture. Keywords: The Gulf of Yos Sudarso, Anafre estuary, community-based management 1. Introduction Anafre river is one of the rivers in the city of Jayapura which empties into the Gulf of Yos Sudarso.
