Port: Difference between revisions

 

Ports can have a wide environmental impact on local ecologies and waterways, most importantly water quality, which can be caused by dredging, spills and other [[pollution]]. Ports are heavily affected by changing environmental factors caused by [[climate change]] as most port infrastructure is extremely vulnerable to [[sea level rise]] and [[coastal flooding]].<ref name=":1" /> Internationally, global ports are beginning to identify ways to improve [[coastal management]] practices and integrate [[climate change adaptation]] practices into their construction.<ref name=":1" />
