Ocean Planning's Impactriseagrant

��

This document assessed the impact of past ocean management plans in several countries and U.S. states. It found that the plans supported $4.1 billion in ocean economies by siting wind farms and retaining existing industries. The plans also generated hundreds of millions of dollars annually in economic gains for new industries like wind power and retained billions within existing industries like fishing and tourism. While fishermen lost some access, they were compensated. The plans encouraged collaboration among stakeholders and expanded environmental protections over 50% of the planned areas while managing industrial growth. Future research on newer plans is needed to fully understand the long-term economic, environmental and social impacts of comprehensive ocean management.

2015 International Spatial Planning Symposium: Sharing Practical Solutions riseagrant

��

The document summarizes findings from a review of marine spatial plans around the world. It finds that most plans are implemented at smaller spatial scales than entire ecosystems. It also finds that few institutional changes are made to governing bodies to implement coastal and marine spatial planning, relying instead on existing agencies. Additionally, it notes that while formal decision support tools are used, informal expert judgment also plays a role. The main messages are that there is no single approach for marine spatial planning and that the value is in the planning process of engaging stakeholders as much as the final plan.

Regional Planning riseagrant

��

Five regional planning bodies have been established across the United States to coordinate ocean planning: the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Pacific Islands, Caribbean, and West Coast. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions have established charters and are drafting regional marine plans to be completed in 2016. The Pacific Islands has a charter and is beginning to draft a plan, while the Caribbean is still finalizing its charter and the West Coast is working on one.

Legal and Policy Strategies for SLAMM in Rhode Islandriseagrant

��

This document discusses potential legal and policy strategies for addressing sea level rise and marsh migration in Rhode Island. It examines transferred development rights and rolling easements as adaptive tools, noting that the strategies were researched by Sea Grant Law Fellows to help inform the SLAMM and Beach SAMP teams. The Beach SAMP process will further explore using these strategies as well as property rights and liability issues related to climate change impacts.

Coastal Wetland Adaptation Strategiesriseagrant

��

This document summarizes coastal wetland adaptation strategies presented at two municipal workshops in October 2014. The strategies included upland actions like facilitating marsh migration and removing barriers, as well as in-marsh actions like drainage improvements, elevation enhancement, and erosion control. Specific project examples were provided from locations around Rhode Island where marsh migration was being facilitated or impeded, and adaptation techniques like creek excavation and land protection were undertaken. Partnerships between municipalities, land trusts, and state agencies were noted as important for implementing projects costing $5,000 to $15,000 each to adapt coastal marshes to sea level rise.

1) The document discusses how municipalities in Rhode Island can incorporate projections of sea level rise and coastal flooding from the SLAMM (Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model) into their local comprehensive plans and policies. 2) It provides examples of how North Kingstown used SLAMM maps and data to update hazard mitigation and adaptation strategies in their comprehensive plan. 3) The document outlines challenges municipalities may face in planning for sea level rise and adapting infrastructure, and compares approaches some other states have taken through regulations and designated planning areas.

Local Case Studiesriseagrant

��

This document summarizes several local case studies on coastal communities in Rhode Island that are vulnerable to sea level rise. It describes modeling of 1 foot, 3 foot, and 5 foot sea level rise scenarios for the communities of Jamestown, Barrington/Warren, and Charlestown. For each community, the document identifies current land uses and infrastructure that are at risk of flooding and inundation. It also provides potential issues and opportunities to address the impacts of sea level rise through actions such as elevating roads, relocating facilities, protecting undeveloped lands, and coordinating land management between stakeholders.

Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM)riseagrant

��

The Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) simulates wetland conversions during sea level rise. It has been applied and improved since 1985 and used worldwide. The document describes how SLAMM models elevation, vegetation zones, accretion rates, and other parameters to project wetland impacts from sea level rise under various scenarios. It also notes limitations such as uncertainty in sea level projections and complexity of ground conditions and coastal dynamics.

��

This document summarizes information presented at a workshop on using the Sea Level Affecting Marshes Model (SLAMM) to project impacts of sea level rise on coastal wetlands in Rhode Island. Key points include: - Tidal marshes provide important ecosystem services like habitat, water filtration, and flood protection. Rhode Island has lost over 50% of its historic salt marshes. - Sea levels are rising faster in Rhode Island due to climate change, increasing the risk of wetland loss and property damage from flooding. The SLAMM model projects significant wetland loss under scenarios of 1, 3, and 5 feet of sea level rise. - The SLAMM projections will help identify vulnerable wetlands and

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain

��

This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust. Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards. The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks. The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration. Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
