Community‐based marine restoration to generate social licence and ecological knowledge for upscaling oyster reef restoration

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Community‐led restoration operates at the intersection of ecological feasibility and social acceptability. In the marine realm, restoration is challenging due to gaps in ecological knowledge on how and where to restore lost ecosystems and limited public engagement that provides social licence for restoration.

Recyclable Printed Liquid Metal Composite for Underwater Stretchable Electronics

Small Science, Volume 5, Issue 5, May 2025.
This work presents a multifunctional liquid metal (LM) microdroplet‐based composite with a custom‐designed block copolymer as the matrix, optimized for printing. The composite exhibits high conductivity, stretchability, durability in dry and aqueous environments, and recyclability of LM using green solvents. These properties highlight its potential for

A review of autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) for monitoring hard‐bottom benthic biodiversity

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (
