Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 8, Page 833-844, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Along Africa’s western coast, many local communities rely on the ocean for their livelihood. Over the last decades, introductions of new fishing techniques along with globalizing trade have strongly changed local fishing practices. The Parc National du Banc d’Arguin (PNBA) in Mauritania had for centuries been subjected to an artisanal, low ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 1906-1919, August 2023., 2023 Abstract The nutrient filter function is an important ecosystem service of seagrass meadows that mitigates the consequences of coastal eutrophication. In northeast Hainan in China, large seagrass areas were lost due to chronic eutrophication induced by untreated pond aquaculture effluents.

Predicted regime shift in the seagrass ecosystem of the Gulf of Arguin driven by climate change
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 The Banc d′Arguin is a marine ecosystem of global conservation significance, the largest bird sanctuary of western Africa, supported by one of the most extensive seagrass beds in the world composed by three seagrass species, two temperate near their ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 420-433, June 2023., 2023 Trophic interactions in seagrass meadows have been rarely investigated over the long‐term and at the scale of a whole seagrass habitat. In this work, reciprocal links between an intertidal seagrass species, Zostera noltei, and an herbivorous bird feeding on this seagrass species, the migratory goose Branta bernicla bernicla, were investigated using an ...

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 734-744, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Fisheries are in decline worldwide, and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are being advocated as tools that can not only protect and restore biodiversity but also improve fisheries sustainability and protect fisher livelihoods. To understand the role of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in underpinning commercial fisheries, this study demonstrates the
