The jetties also act as barriers that disrupt ocean currents and contribute to coastal erosion.

Finally, Venice's lagoon is protected by a number of barrier islands. These islands are steadily eroding, due to construction projects, summer beach crowds, and beach-going vehicles. MOSE is now expected to debut in at the earliest. In theory, the gates and additional coastal defense measures being undertaken will protect Venice against storm surges bringing storm tides of up to 3 meters 9.

Lower parts of the city begin flooding at a water level of 0.

However, multiple studies have found that if sea level rises 0. With some climate scientists warning that Earth could see sea level rise 0. Operation of the gates in this manner would trap pollutants in the lagoon and adversely affect the ecosystem--and greatly restrict boat traffic through the gate locks. Considering that it has already taken more than 50 years from the initial planning stages to get the current MOSE system nearly ready, Venice needs to start planning now for how it will manage sea level rise when MOSE is obsolete 50 or so years from now. I reviewed the book in The views expressed are those of the author s and are not necessarily those of Scientific American.

All of these practices are commonly employed for the laundering of illegal timber. But funding shortfalls could still seriously hinder accurate timber tracking in the state. Mato Grosso declared a goal of zero illegal deforestation by at the COP 21 Paris climate change summit in Their study found that buyers all along the timber supply chain turn a blind eye toward fraud. The U. Our company, for instance, cannot compete with the illegal timber sold in the Brazilian market. If you want to post a public comment, you can do that at the bottom of the page. This process is doing major damage to the Amazon, as loggers build roads deep into forests, causing fragmentation and creating greater access.

To reduce document fraud, the Brazilian federal government this month required that all states register or integrate their timber licensing systems within a national timber inventory and tracking system known as Sinaflor.

While this should reduce fraudulent paperwork, onsite illicit timber harvesting practices remain a major problem. Better oversight of forest management plans and more onsite inspections of timber operations are needed to curb illegal logging practices and to prevent harvesting on public lands and in indigenous reserves.
