A global meta-analysis of ecological effects from offshore marine artificial structures
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024)Marine artificial structures (MAS), including oil and gas installations (O&G) and offshore wind farms (OWFs), have a finite operational period. Selecting the most suitable decommissioning options when reaching end-of-life ... -
Bacterial and viral co-infections in aquaculture under climate warming: co-evolutionary implications, diagnosis, and treatment
(Inter-Research Science CenterGermany, 2024)Climate change and the associated environmental temperature fluctuations are contributing to increases in the frequency and severity of disease outbreaks in both wild and farmed aquatic species. This has a significant ... -
Practical actions to strengthen capacity for deep-water research in Africa
(Challenger 150 Programme, 2024-03-31)While Africa's deep marine biodiversity offers economic prospects it also supports crucial ecosystem services and sustainable development is dependent on knowledge of these systems. Building understanding of deep-water ... -

(Magnolia PressNew Zealand, 2024-03-14)Protozantaena gigantea sp. nov. is described, based on specimens collected from residual pools in a drying seasonal river in Namaqualand, Northern Cape Province, South Africa. Morphologically, the new species appears to ... -
Coastal greening of grey infrastructure: an update on the state-of-the-art
(Emerald, 2024-02-08)In the marine environment, greening of grey infrastructure (GGI) is a rapidly growing field that attempts to encourage native marine life to colonize marine artificial structures to enhance biodiversity, thereby promoting ... -
To what extent can decommissioning options for marine artificial structures move us toward environmental targets?
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2024-01-15)Switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy is key to international energy transition efforts and the move toward net zero. For many nations, this requires decommissioning of hundreds of oil and gas infrastructure in ... -
The world must rethink plans for ageing oil and gas platforms
(Springer Science and Business Media LLCEngland, 2024-03-07)Earth’s oceans are awash with ageing energy infrastructure. A change in the law is needed to ensure that these structures are decommissioned in ways that maximize environmental and societal benefits. -
The global impact of offshore wind farms on ecosystem services
(Elsevier, 2024-03)Understanding the global impact of offshore wind farms (OWF) on biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES) is crucial in developing sustainable energy transition pathways. This study takes a holistic approach, coupling a ... -
mNCEA Policy Brief - Mind the Gap – The need to continue long-term plankton monitoring
(University of PlymouthPlymouth, UK, 2024-03-07)This policy brief argues that while it is beneficial to explore novel plankton survey technology, it is essential that we also continue to maintain traditional long-term monitoring programmes to generate the necessary ... -
