Rocking the Boat: Damage to Eelgrass by Swinging Boat Moorings

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Seagrass meadows commonly reside in shallow sheltered embayments typical of the locations that provide an attractive option for mooring boats. Given the potential for boat moorings to result in disturbance to the seabed due to repeated physical impact ...

Marine rewilding principles as a guiding framework for large‐scale ecosystem restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
As marine ecosystems face accelerating degradation from human pressures, interest is growing in approaches that move beyond protection toward active recovery of ecological processes. This article introduces marine rewilding as a forward‐looking framework and synthesizes ecological and social science to develop eight transdisciplinary principles that ...

Temperature, but not acidification, influences the growth and lipid profile of juvenile sand whiting, Sillago ciliata (Cuvier 1829)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Seafood provides an essential source of macro‐ and micronutrients for coastal communities worldwide. Climate change is a key threat to seafood security, altering the sizes, abundances, distributions, physiology and ecological interactions of fisheries species, and increasingly, there is evidence of impacts to seafood nutritional quality.

Stakeholder diversity matters: employing the wisdom of crowds for data-poor fisheries assessments

Scientific Reports
Embracing local knowledge is vital to conserve and manage biodiversity, yet frameworks to do so are lacking. We need to understand which, and how many knowledge holders are needed to ensure that management recommendations arising from local knowledge are

Comparison of Seagrass Carbon Stock Across Three Distinct Associated Ecosystems, Eastern Coast of Bintan Island, Indonesia [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Marine biota and organisms, including seagrass, capture and utilize more than half of the carbon produced on earth. Seagrass ecosystems are blue carbon ecosystems that play a role in reducing CO2 emissions concerning current climate change.

Association between a fish and box jellyfish during an encounter with a carcharhinid shark

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish‐cubomedusa associations are less frequently reported than those involving scyphozoans and are typically limited to larval or juvenile fishes without an explicit predator context. Here, we report an adult fish associating with the cubozoan Morbakka sp. during an encounter with a carcharhinid shark at Magnetic Island, Australia. [Correction
