What do you mean, “seascape restoration”? Definitions and global practice
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine ecosystems is scaling up, fuelled by the growing recognition of the ecological and socio‐economic benefits sustained by nature and the need to recover what has been lost or degraded. Parallel to this, there is an increasing trend toward “multi‐species,” “multi‐habitat,” and “seascape” restoration projects ...

ABSTRACT Disease outbreaks and the associated reliance on antibiotics pose major constraints to the sustainability of modern aquaculture. As regulatory pressures increase and consumer demand shifts toward residue‐free production, diverse biological interventions are gaining prominence as viable alternatives to chemotherapeutics.

Abstract Kenya's aquaculture sector is at a pivotal stage, transitioning from a historical reliance on Nile tilapia and African catfish toward a more diversified production portfolio that integrates indigenous and emerging freshwater and marine species. This shift is increasingly recognized as essential to enhance climate resilience, food security, and

Marine Functional Connectivity Contributes to Ecosystem Functioning Across Multiple Scales
ABSTRACT The passive transport and active movements of marine organisms between habitats and ecosystems, known as marine functional connectivity, play a critical role in the functioning of marine ecosystems. However, marine functional connectivity, particularly at large spatial scales, is often understudied, and consequently tends to be overlooked in ...

Abstract There is growing interest in nature‐based hybrid flood risk mitigation, in which wetland ecosystems, such as tidal marshes, are an integral part. Tidal marshes can attenuate wave loading on defense structures, reduce breach depth in case of defense structure failure, attenuate storm surges, reduce shoreline erosion, and grow vertically with ...
