Sharks play a key role in coral reef ecosystems, but Caribbean populations are concerningly low. When monitoring endangered species, it is critical to use minimally invasive tools and protocols that are adequate for local species and the environment....

The Ionian Sea plays a crucial role as a crossroads for various Mediterranean water masses, making it a significant factor in the seawater budgets, biogeochemistry, and biodiversity of the subbasins of the Mediterranean Sea. In recent years, numerous...

Increased seawater temperatures and nutrient loading are stressors that affect coral reefs and their microbiomes. In this study, filamentous algae were collected and exposed to different temperatures and nutrient concentrations through a laboratory e...

Whale-watching is a growing ecotourism activity in Colombia that offers economic benefits but may pose behavioral risks to humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) if not properly managed. Although preventive recommendations exist to promote sustaina...

The increased presence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) is a concern for many aquatic environments, especially with the increasing effects of climate change. Members of the dinoflagellate genus Dinophysis have been shown to produce toxins that can caus...

Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is a promising carbon dioxide removal strategy, but its ecological impacts on marine microbial communities under varying nutrient conditions remain poorly understood. We conducted laboratory incubations using a natu...

Macroplastic pollution is a growing environmental concern, threatening the marine environment. Despite growing awareness of marine plastic pollution, few studies have assessed the effectiveness of in situ technologies such as safety nets for macropla...

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are an essential source of food for whale, seal, several fish, squid and seabird species in the Southern Ocean. Krill also play a major role in biogeochemical cycling and are the target of a growing commercial fish...

As a critical factor in ice load calculation for marine structures in cold regions, the growth mechanism and mechanical properties of rafted ice urgently require clarification. This study systematically investigated the growth patterns and flexural s...

Hydrothermal vents, widely occurring along middle-ocean ridges and volcanic arcs, have been well-studied in vent-associated microbiology, mineralogy, and geochemistry. However, there are rarely investigations regarding the detailed microbial communit...
