Paper: Resilient Rivers and Connected Marine Systems - A Review of Mutual Sustainability Opportunities

RIBES Early Stage Researcher Henry Hansen together with RIBES Supervisors  Eva Bergman and Lovisa Lind and others, recently published the paper “Resilient Rivers and Connected Marine Systems: A Review of Mutual Sustainability Opportunities.” in Global Sustainability.

In the non-technical summery they write: "Rivers are crucial to the water cycle, linking the landscape to the sea. Human activities, including effluent discharge, water use and fisheries, have transformed the resilience of many rivers around the globe. Sustainable development goal (SDG) 14 prioritizes addressing many of the same issues in marine ecosystems. This review illustrates how rivers contribute directly and indirectly to SDG 14 outcomes, and also provides ways to potentially address them through a river to sea view on policy, management and research."
