Voices From the Coast: Stakeholder Participation and Perception on Creating a Marine Protected Area

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores participatory processes in the context of marine conservation, with a specific focus on recent initiatives undertaken by the Apulia region in Italy to establish a new Marine Protected Area (MPA). Employing a qualitative cross‐sectional methodology, the study investigates how local communities perceive and engage with the ...

Unregulated use of ammonium-based inorganic fertilizers in large-scale commercial tropical eucheumatoid seaweed farming: evaluating physiological and biochemical consequences through controlled land-based hatchery cultivation

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Depleted or limited available macronutrients is considered a major constraint in eucheumatoid seaweed farming, particularly in intensively farmed areas.

Biological importance of marine algae

Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2010
Marine organisms are potentially prolific sources of highly bioactive secondary metabolites that might represent useful leads in the development of new pharmaceutical agents. Algae can be classified into two main groups; first one is the microalgae, which includes blue green algae, dinoflagellates, bacillariophyta (diatoms)… etc., and second one is ...

Shaping the Protein Transition From the Niche: Firm‐Level Dynamics in Europe's Plant‐Based Alternative Protein Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agri‐food sector, most notably intensive livestock production, stands as a major driver of climate change, prompting a shift towards plant‐based alternative protein production and consumption. Such protein transition is widely recognised as central to the development of an environmentally sustainable food economy.

Carbonic Anhydrase in Marine Algae [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1969
An electrometric system for determination of carbonic anhydrase activity was constructed. Enzyme activity was assayed in homogenates of marine macroscopic Chlorophyta, Rhodophyta, and Phaeophyta. Plants surveyed included Ulva expansa (Setchell) Setchell and Gardner, Codium fragile (Suringar) Hariot, Enteromorpha sp., Chaetomorpha torta (Farlow ...

Engineering Biochar‐Derived Functional Materials for High‐Performance Supercapacitors: Design Principles, Mechanisms, and Scalable Strategies

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.

Mechanistic insights across curing regimes for enzymatic and biopolymer‐optimized reinforcement in rock masses

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study examines the effects of curing temperature on the mechanical behavior of underground rock masses treated with enzyme‐induced calcite precipitation (EICP) and an innovative biopolymer‐modified EICP (BP‐EICP). Abstract Biocementation is an innovative and sustainable technique for reinforcing weak and weathered rock masses in natural and ...

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

A shining starlet: Nematostella vectensis as a model for developmental, regenerative, and comparative biology

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract The sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, has been used as a model organism in developmental biology studies for many years. This estuarine species has the notable capacity to regenerate its full body plan from small pieces throughout life. Nematostella have been described as having a great degree of cellular plasticity.
