Effects on the shoreline

Shoreline resources Kuwait states that the damage to its shoreline resources resulted in a reduction in the quantity and quality of services provided by different shoreline habitats.

MODIFICATIONS TO SAUDI ARABIA'S SHORELINE PRESERVES

You are looking at a shoreline.

There would be no stable shoreline.

Something on the shoreline catches its attention

But this is somewhat of a shoreline.

Modifications to Kuwait's shoreline preserve claim No. 5000460

Modifications to Saudi Arabia's shoreline preserves claim No. 5000463

Was this a shoreline of fluids? We didn't know.

You see a lot of oil on the shoreline.

This is the picture taken at eight kilometers, OK? Again, the shoreline.

Kuwait bases its estimate of recovery times for different shoreline areas on information regarding recovery rates of other oil contaminated shoreline areas, particularly in the United States, but with some adjustments.

Iraq notes that the estimated costs of the shoreline preserve were based on the original estimate for a combined shoreline preserve and marine reserve that was also intended to replace lost recreational opportunities.

Two of these projects are directly related to the losses to intertidal shoreline habitats.

Fish shoals like these seek refuge from open ocean predators by keeping near the shoreline

In assessing the appropriate compensatory restoration project for damage to shoreline resources, Kuwait considered six alternatives.

The claim relates to damage to shoreline areas, wetlands, mangroves, intertidal and subtidal areas and coral reefs.

According to Kuwait, each shoreline habitat provides services to a unique set of organisms to varying degrees.

In order to determine the oil contamination remaining in the mudflats, Kuwait conducted a comprehensive shoreline survey.

These include an oiled shoreline survey, an oceanographic survey and a marine and coastal ecological risk survey.

Second claim unit Intertidal shoreline habitats Saudi Arabia seeks compensation in the amount of USD 5,369,894,855 for severe and persistent damage to a large area of its intertidal shoreline habitats resulting from the oil spills caused by Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

As part of its claim for damage to shoreline resources, Kuwait also seeks monetary compensation for lost recreational opportunities.

Lava lizards, far smaller reptilian relatives have found their own ingenious ways to get by on this fierce shoreline

Kuwait proposes first, to undertake an enhanced raise and release programme for shrimp in order to deal with the damage to aquatic resources as a whole, including decreased shrimp landings, and second, to create a shoreline preserve to address the damage to shoreline resources.

Kuwait seeks an amount of USD 16,599,464 to establish a shoreline preserve as compensation for the loss of these services.

The Panel finds that there was damage to Kuwait's shoreline resources as a direct result of Iraq's invasion and occupation.

Iraq further states that this part of the claim unit might duplicate some of the compensation claimed for the shoreline preserve.

Ships visiting the island remain at anchor some distance from the shoreline and visitors are ferried to the island in longboats.

Iraq states that although, in theory, a shoreline preserve may be an appropriate form of compensatory restoration, Kuwait has not provided sufficient information either to justify the geographical extent of the proposed shoreline preserve or to demonstrate how such a preserve would compensate for the claimed loss of services.

The Panel finds that there is evidence that there was extensive oil contamination and environmental damage of Saudi Arabia's shoreline in 1991.

According to Kuwait, approximately eleven million barrels of oil were released into Kuwaiti territorial waters, and habitat and shoreline surveys performed in the months following the invasion and occupation revealed shorelines covered in a thick coating of oil with the potential for widespread injury to marine life, shoreline habitat, and fisheries.

Defensive barriers would not necessarily require heavy investment they could be mounds of sand several meters high located along and near the shoreline.

The eastern end of the bridge is on Chouteau Island, (part of Madison, Illinois), while the western end is on the Missouri shoreline.

The moshava as it then was continued to grow in 1934, when the first ship of illegal immigrants carried 350 to Netanya's shoreline.

According to Kuwait, the output from the models indicates oil contamination to 4.7 square kilometres of shoreline habitat, at varying degrees of severity.

The Panel finds that the damage to Saudi Arabia's intertidal shoreline habitats is a direct result of Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

While a preserve on Bubiyan Island could compensate for damage to Kuwait's shoreline resources, consideration should be given to other environmentally sensitive areas.

And what we see is that for coastal tags, for those organisms that live near the shoreline, they're most diverse in the tropics.

In subsequent amendments based on monitoring and assessment results, Kuwait separated the compensation requested for damage to aquatic biota from damage to shoreline resources.

On that basis, Kuwait states that the net present value of damage to its shoreline resources amounts to 1,402.6 discounted service hectare years ( DSHY ).

In the third F4 report, the Panel found that Saudi Arabia's estimate of the area of shoreline that is contaminated by oil was reasonable.

Because there's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away.
