Structural and functional biological assessment of aggregate dredging intensity on the Belgian part of the North Sea [PDF]
Marine aggregate dredging in the Belgian part of the North Sea (BPNS) is restricted to four dedicated concession zones. Within these zones, there are areas under different dredging pressure, but with the advantage that these are situated within a similar

Impacts of a Century‐Old Urban Dam on Water Quality and Habitat Composition, Flint River, Flint, MI
ABSTRACT Dams significantly influence river ecosystems worldwide, fragmenting habitats, altering sediment transport, and reducing biodiversity. Urban rivers are especially vulnerable, where dams compound stressors such as channelization, pollution, and degraded riparian zones. In response, dam removals are a growing restoration tool globally.

Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.
