From commons to commoning as resistance efforts to blue injustice: A sociohistorical and ethnographical approach

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the last 20 years, collaborative efforts have emerged with the intention of going beyond the pure capitalist economy, seeking to generate transformative community‐based changes that guarantee blue equity, fair distribution and well‐being.

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 ...

First Field-Based Evidence That the Seagrass-Lucinid Mutualism Can Mitigate Sulfide Stress in Seagrasses

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Seagrass meadows form vital ecological components of coastal zones worldwide, but are rapidly declining. Large-scale seagrass diebacks have been related to accumulation of toxic sulfide in the sediment, a phenomenon predicted to occur more frequently in ...

Developing ocean literacy through a relational model: Exploring outcomes of a place‐based ocean education programme in primary schools

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Schools are a common place where the younger generation can develop their understanding of the ocean and acquire the skills needed to become responsible and knowledgeable ocean advocates. Grounded in a relational ocean literacy model, this study examined outcomes of a place‐based programme integrating picture books, beach excursions and ...

First description of seagrass distribution and abundance in Sao Tome and Principe [PDF]

, 2017
Seagrass meadows in Sao Tome and Principe, eastern Atlantic Ocean, are described here for the first time. Specifically, we quantified the biomass and density of seagrasses, characterized the plant morphology and measure their nutrient content as a proxy ...

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.

Trophic Organization of Fishes in a Coastal Seagrass System

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1982
A long-term (8-y) field study was made concerning the trophic relationships of fishes that occupy shallow coastal grassbeds in the northeast Gulf of Mexico. Various populatlons migrate into such areas to nursery during portions of their life histories.

Sexual reproduction vs. clonal propagation in the recovery of a seagrass meadow after an extreme weather event [PDF]

, 2019
Marine flowering plants can reproduce sexually and clonally, and the relative contribution of these two modes can be dependent on the environmental conditions.

Comparing convolutional neural network and random forest for benthic habitat mapping in Apollo Marine Park

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
A comparison of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) model predictions of benthic habitats within Apollo Marine Park. The CNN (left) and RF (right) classification maps show the spatial distribution of three habitat types: high energy circalittoral rock with seabed‐covering sponges, low complexity circalittoral rock with non‐crowded

Throughflow centrality is a global indicator of the functional importance of species in ecosystems

, 2012
To better understand and manage complex systems like ecosystems it is critical to know the relative contribution of system components to system functioning. Ecologists and social scientists have described many ways that individuals can be important; This
