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.

Taking the Pulse of Resilience in Conserving Seagrass Meadows

Integrative And Comparative Biology
Synopsis Foundational habitats such as seagrasses and coral reefs are at severe risk globally from climate warming. Infectious disease associated with warming events is both a cause of decline and an indicator of stress in both habitats.

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 ...

Assessing the ecological and economic impacts of a drastic decline in tropical seagrass meadows on fish and prawn assemblages

, 2016
Seagrass meadows provide valuable ecosystem services including increased biodiversity and enhanced fisheries production through the provision of nursery habitat, however, global coverage of seagrass ecosystems is declining rapidly. Recently the impact of

Ocean warming indirectly affects seagrass performance through effects on sediment microbial communities

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 191-206, July 2026.
Summary Belowground microbes are increasingly recognised as mediators of plant responses to stress, but it remains unclear whether the thermal histories of marine plants and their associated belowground microbes influence plant performance under ocean warming.

The Global Blue Bond Market: Governance Challenges and Sustainable Development Goals Disclosure

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Blue bonds are increasingly used to close conservation financing gaps, yet their effectiveness depends on governance that links capital to credible outcomes. This study provides the first market‐wide characterization of all 139 live blue bonds outstanding as of November 2025, representing over USD 30 billion in aggregate financing.

Comparison of water velocity profiles through morphologically dissimilar seagrasses measured with a simple and inexpensive current meter

, 2002
The influence of seagrass morphology on water flow was studied by measuring water velocity profiles through natural seagrass meadows. An array of eight solid-state electronic current meters was used to obtain profiles through meadows of Amphibolis ...
