Paraquat Fact Sheet. Paraquat is a herbicide (chemical weed killer) used to control a very broad range of weeds (unwanted plants) in more than 100 crops, including cereals, oilseeds, fruit and vegetables, growing in all climates. Weeds shade crops, take their water and nutrients, and make harvesting difficult.araquat Fact Sheet.

1.1 DEFINING COASTAL AREAS. Coastal areas are commonly defined as the interface or transition areas between land and sea, including large inland lakes. Coastal areas are diverse in function and form, dynamic and do not lend themselves well to definition by strict spatial boundaries.he multifaceted approach to the management of coastal resources has become known as integrated coastal management (ICM). Pernetta and Elder (1993) have described it as meaning `the process of combining all aspects of the human, physical and biological aspects of the coastal zone within a single management framework'.
Coastal Oceans Biome. Coastal Oceans are waters that lie above the continental shelf. This is where most of fish come from, where coral reefs grow, and were we swim and play. In fact, while the oceans cover 71 percent of Earth, only 7 percent of that is coastal oceans. This small strip of land is affected adversely by humans in many ways including over-fishing, industrial pollution, and agricultural runoff.
