Scalable low‐cost seabed landers: the missing link for sustained, integrated, long‐term observations in dynamic shallow seas

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Seabed landers, when equipped with a range of biotic and abiotic sensors, offer a non‐invasive and cost‐effective solution for ecosystem‐scale monitoring of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) and Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) in dynamic shallow seas.

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

Citizen Science for Individual Identification of Pine Martens Martes martes From Camera Trap Footage

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps generate large volumes of wildlife footage, but identifying animals to the individual level remains challenging and time‐consuming. Using European pine martens in the Forest of Dean as a case study, we assessed whether citizen scientists could identify individuals from camera trap photos and videos.

The Dynamics of a Forced Moored Sphere in Oscillatory Waves

NIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 1985
A floating fisheries bank is a floating body of a distinctive shape, which is moored by a single line in the middle layer of sea. Its function is to gather the migratory fish and surface and middle layer fish. Though they were developed only a few years ago, many floating fisheries banks are being utilized and they are regarded as highly efficient, but

Anti‐Globalization Dynamics and Africa's Structural Transformation: Identifying Avoidable Environmental Degradation Thresholds

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study pursues a dual objective. First, it investigates the unconditional impact of anti‐globalization on structural transformation in Africa. Second, it explores how environmental degradation interacts with anti‐globalization to influence structural transformation. The analysis focuses on 52 African countries over the period 2005–2023. To

The Calculation Method of the Maximum Mooring Force of an External Turret Mooring System

Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1991
Floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO) and floating storage and offloading units (FSO) have been and will be built for small or medium size oil fields. Recently the external turret mooring systems (ETM system) for FPSO/FSO are increasing in number, because of easy installation onboard, redundancy of mooring chain (i. e.

Effect of Buoy Layout and Sinker Configuration on the Hydrodynamic Response of Drifting Fish Aggregating Devices in Regular Waves

Fishes
Drifting fish aggregating devices (DFADs) are central to tropical tuna purse-seine fisheries, yet their hydrodynamic performance under realistic seas has not been adequately addressed, particularly for emerging eco-friendly designs.
