Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

Assessing the effectiveness of Sri Lankan marine protected areas: Challenges and recommendations
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We evaluated the biodiversity conservation effectiveness of 32 zones of Sri Lankan marine protected areas (MPA) and found that most are currently insufficiently protected. Threats to MPAs were not uniform, with harmful dredging/dumping, anchoring, fishing, and non‐extractive activities identified as major pressures affecting different sets of MPAs.

XBTs Provide First‐Order Characterization of Seabed Physical Properties
Earth and Space ScienceExpendable Bathythermographs (XBTs) are oceanographic instruments that fall through the ocean's water column and measure ocean temperature with depth. In many instances, however, XBTs continue to record temperature after they impact the seabed.

Meshfree Model for Porous Seabed Response Under Combined Earthquake and Random Wave Loading
In the context of offshore structure design, the consideration of earthquake and wave loadings is paramount due to their pivotal role as natural dynamic forces.

Ibis, EarlyView.While many visual predators feed exclusively during the day, others exploit foraging opportunities at night, although the efficiency with which they do so is strongly influenced by ambient light levels. We investigated the influence of variation in nocturnal light on the foraging behaviour of a small pelagic seabird, the European Storm‐petrel ...

, 2023 Although twin pipelines in series have been used to transport hydrocarbons in existing engineering practice, previous studies have mostly focused on the dynamic response of the seabed around a single pipeline.

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Although Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of macrourids at genus level masks critical interspecific differences in life‐history strategies and ...

Numerical study for wave-induced oscillatory seabed response around pile foundations using openFOAM
, 2019 In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical model for wave–seabed interactions around a group of pile foundations isproposed. Unlike in previous studies, both wave and seabed submodels are developed based on the open source libraryOpenFOAM (version 4.0,
