Remote Sensing With Machine Learning to Monitor Seagrass Meadows: Long‐Term Trends in Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.
Seagrass meadows play critical roles in coastal ecosystems by stabilising sediments, supporting biodiversity and sequestering carbon, yet monitoring their recovery at scale is often constrained by the lack of scalable and repeatable approaches. This study applies an open‐source remote‐sensing framework to track long‐term changes in Zostera muelleri in ...

Identifying and addressing critical gaps to accelerate seagrass restoration in Africa

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Seagrass restoration science in Africa is highly regionalised and fragmented and approaches inconsistent, highlighting the need for more unified and standardised approaches to restoration trials. However, current gaps in knowledge provide exciting opportunities, that when addressed will strengthen seagrass restoration science and capacity.

MarineFlux: A Data Service for Shipboard Air–Sea Fluxes

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
The MarineFlux project is providing access to direct and bulk turbulent air–sea flux observations via an Environmental Research Division's Data Access Program (ERDDAP) service and a graphical user interface, known as the MarineFlux Explorer. The design, development, and usage of these services are presented to support the needs of the air–sea flux ...

Impact of parameterization in multiple acoustic index comparisons: practical cases in terrestrial and underwater soundscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 388-400, June 2026.
Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...

Global Analysis of Shallow Underwater Fish Observation Research: 70 Years of Progress, Persistent Geographic Biases and a Path Forward

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 607-626, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by overfishing, pollution, coastal development and climate change, underscoring the need for long‐term, representative information on key fish populations and habitats to inform management and policy.

Global Observing Needs in the Deep Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The deep ocean below 200 m water depth is the least observed, but largest habitat on our planet by volume and area. Over 150 years of exploration has revealed that this dynamic system provides critical climate regulation, houses a wealth of energy ...

From Data to Decision: Leveraging Essential Variables in Standardizing Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Monitoring and Reporting

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Fragmented systems for monitoring and assessing biodiversity and ecosystem services limit the ability to track progress at local and national scales in international multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs). This greatly challenges coordinated actions to meet agreed‐upon global commitments.

Elucidating the Role of Marine Benthic Carbon in a Changing World

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 39, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The ocean plays a major role in controlling atmospheric carbon at decadal to millennial timescales, with benthic carbon representing the only geologic‐scale storage of oceanic carbon. Despite its importance, detailed benthic ocean observations are limited and representation of the benthic carbon cycle in ocean and Earth system models (ESMs) is
