Morpho‐anatomical and genetic variation of Lithophyllum neo‐okamurae and L. okamurae (Corallinales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) from Jeju Island, Korea

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY Lithophyllum Philippi (Corallinales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) is a diverse genus of non‐geniculate coralline algae. Lithophyllum neo‐okamurae and L. okamurae are commonly found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of Jeju Island, Korea, where they contribute to local benthic communities.

Improving seed‐based restoration in Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in combined aquarium and field experiments

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seagrass restoration efforts are being implemented globally to accelerate the slow natural recolonization success. Among the various existing methods, seed‐based approaches offer the greatest scalability for species like Zostera marina, yet these methods remain undeveloped for a number of sub‐tidal systems like the Baltic Sea ...

Testing the sediment-trapping paradigm of seagrass: Do seagrasses influence nutrient status and sediment structure in tropical intertidal environments? [PDF]

, 2002
Seagrass meadows are considered important for sediment trapping and sediment stabilisation. Deposition of fine sediments and associated adsorbed nutrients is considered an important part of the chemical and biological processes attributed to seagrass ...

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.

Strategic Roadmap for Addressing Microplastic Pollution in the Global South: Bridging Monitoring Gaps, Harmonizing Methods, and Building Analytical Capacity

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

Spread and Population Dynamics of Rugulopteryx okamurae Across the Azores Archipelago (NE Atlantic)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Rugulopteryx okamurae is a recently introduced brown macroalga that has expanded rapidly across the Azores (NE Atlantic). This study provides an update of the archipelago‐wide spatial spread and the first assessment of its local population dynamics.

Seed to meadow - developing intertidal seagrass restoration

, 2023
In coastal waters around the globe, seagrasses form the basis of productive ecosystems. Unfortunately, these valuable ecosystems have suffered massive losses during the last century and are in dire need of effective conservation measures. In this thesis, we investigated if and how eelgrass (Zostera marina) can be restored in the intertidal Wadden Sea ...

Seagrass Sampling Methods in a Community‐Based Setting, A Comparative Analysis

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective monitoring of seagrass is essential for the conservation of this critical marine ecosystem. The choice of monitoring method depends on balancing accuracy, efficiency, cost and accessibility, especially in contexts requiring community engagement and ownership.
