Marine heat waves in the Mediterranean Sea are increasing, impacting ecosystems and economies. This study examines these changes in different areas, stressing the importance of monitoring both surface and subsurface conditions.
This study explores the potential of fungi, particularly in aquatic environments, to mitigate pesticide, pharmaceutical, plastic, and heavy metal pollution, and highlights new enzyme-based strategies for effective mycoremediation.
About 242,000 marine species are known, with 2,332 new ones identified annually. At this rate, it will take centuries to describe all unknown species, unless technological, institutional, and regulatory challenges are overcome, suggests this study.
AI is transforming marine science by providing near-human accuracy in fish behavior analysis and species classification with deep learning models. These advances could improve fishing gear selectivity, suggests this study.
Arctic beach plastic debris originates mainly from local Arctic sea-based sources, European countries, and some distant nations, suggests this study. It highlights the urgent need for a global plastic treaty to reduce pollution in Arctic ecosystems.
Sedimentary ancient DNA offers a new way to study past marine ecosystems beyond fossil records, enhancing understanding of biodiversity and environmental changes, suggests this review.
Technology and international law are key in tackling ocean challenges by enhancing marine monitoring and guiding resource management. This review highlights their role in improving ocean understanding, fostering collaboration and adapting legal frameworks.
Trawling the seafloor can release CO2 that's been stored in ocean sediments, with 55-60% reaching the atmosphere in 7-9 years, suggests this research article.
