Effects of Groundwater Extraction and River Regulation on Coastal Freshwater Resources, Improved coastal zone management is needed to sustain coastal ecosystems and resource use, as well as support for industries and infrastructure related to blue economic development. We present and synthesize here case studies of how groundwater extraction and river regulation schemes (including dam

Ocean Acidification and Blue Economies, 40% of the CO. emitted to the atmosphere between 1800 and 2007 has been absorbed by the ocean. This consequent decrease in surface water pH is called “ocean acidification” and is a major threat to the blue economies of developing coastal nations and small islands. At particular risk are coral reefs
