Improving data driven decision making through integration of environmental sensing technologies [PDF]
, 2013 Coastal and estuarine zones contain vital and increasingly exploited resources. Traditional uses in these areas (transport, fishing, tourism) now sit alongside more recent activities (mineral extraction, wind farms). However, protecting the resource base

New approaches to Marine Biofouling Control
International Journal on Applied Bio-Engineering, 2007 Biofouling control measures are dependant on the type of industry, type of industry, type of equipment, environment and the substratum. Cooling circuits of power plants invariably get fouled. Several biocides like chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone & organic biocides are being tried for fouling control.

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global climate change is intensifying ocean deoxygenation, particularly in eastern boundary current systems such as the California Current. This study investigates the impact of hypoxic events on a nearshore, multispecies recreational groundfish fishery along the Oregon coast.

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands
Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were
