Impacts of dredging and restoration on sedimentary carbon stocks in seagrass meadows of Pari Island, Indonesia

Scientific Reports
The effects of dredging and restoration on carbon sequestration in seagrass sediments is not well understood. Our knowledge is derived from few studies conducted in areas affected by dredging or restoration, the majority of which are from temperate ...

Community Structure of Fishes the Association with Seagrasses at Bama Beach, Baluran National Park, Situbondo, East Java

Journal of Marine and Coastal Science
Seagrass bed has an important role for biota in waters. The existence of fish in seagrass is influenced by other ecosystems close to seagrass, such as mangroves and coral reefs. This study focuses on fish associated with seagrass in Bama Beach.

Aquatic macrophytes as nature‐based solutions: Challenges and opportunities across inland and coastal waters

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Macrophytes are foundation species whose use as nature‐based solution (NbS) in aquatic ecosystems can help reduce climate change impacts while mitigating biodiversity loss. The discrepancy in research and application of macrophytes as NbS across inland and marine coastal ecosystems is an opportunity to expand the concept and learn from ...

Developing a model for tropical seagrass light requirements in a turbid port environment

, 2010
In Australian coastal waters and embayments, tropical seagrasses are often subject to dynamic light environments as naturally turbid waters and large tidal flux create periods of extreme high and low light over relatively short time scales (i.e.

Optimising Seagrass Conservation for Ecological Functions

, 2019
Animals are central to numerous ecological processes that shape the structure and function of ecosystems. It follows that species that are strongly linked to specific functions can represent these functions spatially and hence be useful in conservation ...

Habitat Suitability for a Unique, Fully Marine American Manatee (Trichechus manatus) Population Primarily Depends on Presence of Submarine Freshwater Springs

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The American manatee (Trichechus manatus) requires freshwater mainly from rivers and springs to maintain osmoregulatory balance in saline environments. However, in Brazil's semi‐arid Potiguar Basin, manatees now rely solely on submarine freshwater springs because hypersaline estuaries have become unsuitable sources of freshwater.

Megaherbivory is a major force driving seagrass structure on the Great Barrier Reef

Herbivory is a key mechanism controlling seagrass ecosystem stability, function and diversity globally. Tropical seagrass ecosystems are susceptible to large scale grazing from megaherbivores (turtles and dugongs), but research on the impact of grazing ...

Microplastic Munchies: Exploring Microplastic Trophic Transfer Potential Between Two Key Prey Fish Species and Resident Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Sarasota Bay, Florida

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastics have been identified in hundreds of species, with evidence of trophic transfer via contaminated prey. Sarasota Bay common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) serve as sentinels of coastal pollution, including plastics and chemical plasticizers. Previous research confirmed microplastic ingestion in these dolphins (100.0%, n =

Vulnerability to Global Environmental Change? Isotopic Inference of a Resident Population of Common Bottlenose Dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, in a Coastal Lagoon in the Southern Gulf of Mexico

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Through the isotopic composition of 211 samples of six different tissues (muscle, liver, heart, kidney, spleen, and lung) obtained from 51 Tursiops truncatus strandings over nearly a decade (2013–2022), this study evaluated the impact of environmental variations on a resident population in a coastal lagoon in the southern Gulf of Mexico ...
