       'In coastal and estuarine regions, ocean surface tracers, like sea-surface temperature, chlorophyll-a, and sediments, form two frequently occurring patterns which can be explained by Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) on horizontal transport and mixing. In this study, we examined the role of two fundamental types of Coastally-Attached LCS configurations. The first configuration, referred to as Type-I, forms when an attracting or a repelling LCS is attached to the coastline at a single point. This configuration was found to enhance advective ocean tracer exchange between the coastal regions and the open ocean along its path. Moreover, it increases diffusive mixing by enhancing the interfacial area of tracer plumes, particularly those transported by rivers. Type-I structures generally emerge as a result of strong flow divergence and near-coast eddies. The second configuration, called Type-II, develops when an LCS is attached to the coastline at two points, forming an enclosed region in a near-heteroclinic manner. Unlike the Type-I configuration, Type-II inhibits advective mixing between coastal and open-ocean waters. The Type-II configuration arises due to flow separation from the coastline at one point and its subsequent reattachment downstream, leading to recirculation in the enclosed region. Both configurations are capable of generating strong gradients in surface tracer fields, potentially leading to frontal systems if they persist for extended periods. These findings would potentially contribute to enhanced understanding of the complex dynamics of coastal tracer distribution and their implications on nearshore circulation, ecology, and pollutant transport.',

+      'Marine diseases threaten ecosystems and aquaculture, additionally harming endangered species including the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis). Although international restoration efforts follow biosecurity protocols, ocean currents may transport pathogens to restoration sites. Here, we used biophysical Lagrangian dispersal simulations to map upper-bound exposure risk of the oyster pathogen Bonamia ostreae across the North-West European shelf. We developed a workflow with pre-aggregated connectivity components allowing analyses of multiple scenarios without rerunning simulations. We found typical dispersal distances from 30 km for free pathogens to 50-60 km for infected larvae, with high spatial heterogeneity emphasizing the need for site-specific simulations. About 30% of restoration sites showed a continuously high potential exposure to pathogen arrival. We identified highly connected diseased sites that may drive transmission. We provide a scaling factor to calculate pathogen exposure at target locations and a tool for selecting low-risk sites. This transferable workflow supports site-specific spatial planning in restoration, aquaculture, and disease monitoring.',
