The article selects and analyzes scientific literature sources and regulatory documents on the reconstruction of public spaces within the boundaries of coastal territories. It analyzes global experience in the reconstruction of embankments and the modern specifics of urban development of coastal areas in terms of the relationship of coastal areas with urban development. It investigates the architectural and planning problems of embankment spaces and the problems of their reconstruction. It formulates the principles of reconstruction of public spaces of the coastal territories of the locality. It provides practical recommendations for their use. It analyzes the history of the development and current state of the embankment of the urban-type settlement of Chernomorskoye in the Republic of Crimea. It provides proposals and recommendations for the reconstruction of the specified embankment urban-type settlement of Chernomorskoye. On the basis of the conducted research, an experimental design model for the reconstruction of the embankment of urban-type settlement of Chernomorskoye is proposed.

The purpose of environmental zoning is to improve environmental management and the sustainable management of the coastal and marine ecosystems. This zoning can be performed by using methods such as participative zoning, COLMIZC, and the method used in the Decision Support System (DSS) called “Software MARXAN”. The methods present advantages and disadvantages. However, they all require an input of detailed primary or secondary data, and biotic and physical information regarding the ecosystem. Thus, this study employs a method that was the result of the analysis of different methods, and that enables suitable environmental zoning of the marine-coastal ecosystem (e.g. mangroves, seagrasses, coral reef, etc.) without detailed biophysical information. Its main characteristic is the definition Environmental Units ofAnalysis (EUA), as units that have been considered as homogenous regions that can be defined from different aspects such as ecosystem size or distribution, and socioeconomic and cultural aspects (Ospino-Sepulveda et al., 2017b). Having defined the EUA, it is possible to map specific ecosystem and consider other important environmental elements, which sometimes are not considered important when using other methods. As a result of this work, 14 EUA were obtained in La Guajira and 14 EUA in Chocó for marine-coastal areas in the Colombian Caribbean. The application of socio-economic, socio-cultural and biotic criteria to EUA defined zones for protection, restoration, and development of sustainable economic activities. We hope that the method adopted in this work will, in the future, be considered as an alternative for the environmental zoning of ecosystems marine-coastal areas.

The impacts of sea level rise on ecosystems and natural resources are a major concern in Florida, especially in low-lying coastal areas such as south Florida. Sea level rise can impact many aspects of Florida’s economy, including urban development, agriculture, infrastructure, and natural areas. This 16-page document introduces, evaluates, and summarizes selected available online sources and tools to educate diverse stakeholders and concerned local residents on important aspects of sea level rise. Written by Young Gu Her, Ashley Smyth, Jiangxiao Qiu, Elias Bassil, Ulrich Stingl, and Laura Reynolds, and published by the UF/IFAS Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, June 2020.
