Application of residuals from purification of bivalve molluscs in Galician to facilitate marine ecosystem resiliency through artificial reefs with shells – One generation
(Elsevier, 2023-01-15)
[Abstract] The seas and oceans of the planet provide a wide range of essential resources. However, marine ecosystems are undergoing severe degradation due to the unsustainable exploitation and consumption patterns of the ...
Numerical and experimental analysis of the velocity field inside an artificial reef. Application to the Ares-Betanzos estuary
(MDPI, 2022-11-28)
[Abstract]: The placement of artificial reef (AR) units on the seabed modifies the velocity field of the water, making the nutrients circulate properly and creating the necessary habitat for the settlement of the desired ...
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Consumption of Coastal Ecosystem Enhancement Programme through Sustainable Artificial Reefs in Galicia
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] The principle of sustainability should condition a project in which artificial reefs are being installed to protect biodiversity as well as enhance costal ecosystems. In particular, this principle should be taken ...
Assessment of the Materials Employed in Green Artificial Reefs for the Galician Estuaries in Terms of Circular Economy
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] To exploit marine resources in a sustainable way, efficient management systems must be used such as green artificial reefs (GARs). These reefs are mostly made up of renewable and organic materials. When adopting ...
Proposed Conceptual Framework to Design Artificial Reefs Based on Particular Ecosystem Ecology Traits
(MDPI, 2022-04-28)
[Abstract] Overfishing and pollution have led to marine habitat degradation, and as a result, marine fisheries are now in decline. Consequently, there is a real need to enhance marine ecosystems while halting the decline ...
Considerations on the programmed functional life (one generation) of a green artificial reef in terms of the sustainability of the modified ecosystem
(Elsevier. Cell Press, 2023-04)
[Abstract] The installation of artificial reefs serves to enhance marine ecosystems, although it also modifies them. These changes do not have to be irreversible, since it is possible to treat the functional life of an ...
Optimisation Techniques for Managing the Project Sustainability Objective: Application to a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
(MDPI, 2020-06)
[Abstract]
In addition to traditional project management objectives (cost, time, scope and quality, among others), it is now necessary to include a global sustainability objective in all projects, regardless of their ...
Installing Green Artificial Reefs: A Sustainable Challenge
(European Association for the Development of Renewable Energies, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ),, 2021-09)
[Abstract] Green Artificial Reefs (GARs) are marine structures
to exploit sea resources in a sustainable way (produce food
resources, improve the tourism, etc.). They should be installed on
the seabed, process that is ...
Assessing the Risk of Robbery in Bank Branches to Reduce Impact on Personnel
(Wiley, 2022)
[Abstract] According to existing literature, bank robberies can have a considerable impact on the people involved (employees, customers, and police officers), even if the direct economic losses are negligible. Consequently, ...
New Approach for Managing Sustainability in Projects
(MDPI, 2021-06)
[Abstract] Despite the work done to date, project sustainability management (PSM) is still at an embryonic stage. The existing literature considers sustainability as a transversal aspect to be incorporated into the traditional ...
