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

Chemosphere, 2023 Mercury's extreme toxicity and persistence in the environment justifies a thorough evaluation of its dynamics in ecosystems. Aveiro Lagoon (Portugal) was for decades subject to mercury effluent discharges. A Nature-based Solution (NbS) involving Zostera noltei re-colonization is being tested as an active ecosystem restoration measure.

How can Sentinel‐2 contribute to seagrass mapping in shallow, turbid Baltic Sea waters?
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 328-346, June 2022., 2022 Sentinel‐2 provides unprecedented information on seagrass distribution in the Western Baltic Sea between 0 and 5‐m water depths. Classification results and accuracies are similar using only atmospherically or additionally water‐column corrected reflectance data. The turbid waters limit analyses to water depths less than 5 m.

Carbon sequestration loss following Zostera noltei decline in the Arcachon Bay (France) [PDF]
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2016 Abstract The worldwide decline of seagrass meadows may result in the loss of relevant ecosystem services such as the carbon sequestration within marine ecosystems. In this paper, net primary production (NPP) of Zostera noltei meadows was assessed in the Arcachon Bay (SW France) with the aim of understanding the impact of meadows decline on C ...

Current distribution of Zostera seagrass meadows along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast (SW Black Sea, Bulgaria) (2010-2020) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022 The current distribution of Zostera spp. seagrass meadows along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast was studied. We used a combination of historical and recent observations of the habitat along the studied coastline.
