Novel Zwitterionic Polydopamine Nanofiller‐Reinforced Hybrid Membranes With Superior Antifouling Performance for Wastewater Treatment

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work reports one‐pot synthesized novel zwitterionic polydopamine‐silica (ZSiPDA) nanofillers for fabricating PES hybrid ultrafiltration membranes with enhanced hydrophilicity, permeability, and antifouling performance. The optimized membrane achieved over 91% humic acid removal and showed strong potential for municipal wastewater treatment.

Sediment‐Resistant Marine Antifouling Coating Based on Amphiphilic Copolymer Brushes Bearing Sulfobetaine and Isobornyl Pendants

Advanced Materials Interfaces
For marine antifouling coatings to be practically useful, resistance to both marine fouling organisms and inorganic marine sediments is essential. Amphiphilic copolymer coatings, which integrate hydrophilic and hydrophobic components, are known to impart

Eco-efficient synthesis of cinnamic-compounds as antifouling additives for marine coatings

Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment
Marine pollution in ports caused by biocides-based antifouling paints is a growing problem worldwide. In this paper we present a new sustainable alternative to reduce the use of copper and booster biocides in marine antifouling paints.

From snapshots to continuous estimates: Augmenting citizen science with computer vision for fish monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents an end‐to‐end computer‐vision pipeline for monitoring fish migration using underwater video. We integrate field camera deployment, annotation, model training and automated in‐season counting to generate continuous, high‐resolution data on river herring spawning migration.

Antifouling capacity of substrate materials and their effects on settlement and post‐settlement survival of Acropora palmata and Orbicella faveolata

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In coral reef restoration, sexual reproduction is a key methodology to enhance coral population recovery. However, post‐settlement survival remains a major bottleneck, as spat are particularly vulnerable to competition with fouling organisms.
