Spatial variability of hydrodynamics in oyster reefs: Investigating the impact of canopy density on mean and turbulent flows

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This field study investigated how oyster canopy density modulates hydrodynamics of natural intertidal oyster reef. High‐resolution velocity measurements were taken simultaneously within and above oyster canopies of variable density (solid volume fractions, Ø=$$ \mathrm{\O}= $$ 0.04–0.21).

Coastal Marine Carbon and Air‐Sea Fluxes Quantified From pH Sensors on an Extended AUV Deployment

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract For the first time, the Autosub Long Range (ALR) completed a fully autonomous, long‐distance (2,000 km) scientific mission, delivering new insight into coastal carbonate dynamics and air‐sea CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ fluxes. Equipped with a suite of oceanographic sensors, including a Lab‐on‐Chip (LOC) pH sensor and a Sea‐Bird SeaFET pH sensor, the

Comparison of the Impact of Akmon, Sta-bar, Sta-pod, Stock cube, and Tribar Armoring Layers on the Level of Flow Rate and Wave Overtopping [PDF]

Journal of Hydraulic and Water Engineering
Breakwaters are structures whose main function is to reduce waves in an area and create a calm basin for the stopping, movement, and maneuvering of floating objects.

Spatial Variability and Drivers of Salt Marsh Cliff Erosion in the Dutch Wadden Sea: From Observation to Simulation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Lateral erosion of salt marshes via cliff retreat is a primary cause of global marsh loss, driven by interactions between hydrodynamics, sediment, and vegetation. While previous studies show a linear relationship between wave power and cliff retreat, models based on this relationship are largely unvalidated for short‐term (sub‐yearly) and ...

Multi‐metric complexity drives ecological succession on blue‐green infrastructure across scales

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that restoring coastal habitat complexity can substantially improve ecosystem diversity and functioning, offering a scalable marine conservation approach within increasingly engineered seascapes. We highlight the need for multi‐metric, multi‐scale assessments of spatio‐temporal community formation on eco‐engineered ...

Fewer devil rays in the sea: Evidence of declining mobulid populations off India's coast

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Manta and devil rays are declining globally due to targeted and incidental capture, but species‐specific assessments are limited by unmonitored fisheries. Using morphometric, demographic, and fishery metrics, we show for the first time in India long‐term (2013–2023) declines in Mobula mobular, Mobula tarapacana, Mobula birostris, and Mobula thurstoni ...

An Extremely Efficient Boundary Element Method for Wave Interaction with Long Cylindrical Structures Based on Free-Surface Green’s Function

Computation, 2016
The present study aims to develop an efficient numerical method for computing the diffraction and radiation of water waves with horizontal long cylindrical structures, such as floating breakwaters in the coastal region, etc. A higher-order scheme is used

Clarifying the Labrisomus Conundrum: Deep Divergence, Cryptic Lineages, and a Genetic Melting Pot in the Atlantic Ocean (Teleostei, Labrisomidae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We evaluate the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic validity of Atlantic species of Labrisomus, identifying the lineages currently assigned to L. nuchipinnis, and assessing the role of biogeographic barriers in shaping the evolutionary history and geographic distribution of the genus. Location Atlantic Ocean.
