On the importance of antifouling coatings regarding ship resistance and powering

, 2013
This paper aims to introduce one of the latest investigations on development of marine antifouling coatings and also to demonstrate the importance of the type of antifouling coatings on fouling accumulation and ship resistance/powering.

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Improving seed‐based restoration in Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in combined aquarium and field experiments

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seagrass restoration efforts are being implemented globally to accelerate the slow natural recolonization success. Among the various existing methods, seed‐based approaches offer the greatest scalability for species like Zostera marina, yet these methods remain undeveloped for a number of sub‐tidal systems like the Baltic Sea ...

Conditioning cultured Diadema antillarum through uncaged mid‐water grow‐out shifts behavior and morphology

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The long‐spined black sea urchin Diadema antillarum is a keystone herbivore on Caribbean reefs, yet population recovery following mass mortality events has been slow and spatially variable. Restocking programs increasingly rely on aquaculture, but rearing conditions may generate behavioral and morphological shifts that affect post‐

Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were
