Seagrass beds are key blue-carbon ecosystems, yet their resilience is increasingly challenged by microplastic (MP) pollution and marine heatwaves (MHW…

ALT: a man in a tuxedo and suspenders is holding a baton and says science

Seagrass and oyster beds are biogenic habitats of global importance in shallow coastal waters as they provide critical ecosystem functions. These habitats may be adversely affected by warming trends.…

Plants occupying coastal wetlands draw in carbon dioxide from the air and water to grow plant tissues via photosynthesis, some of which is buried under the soil where it is sequestered from the atmos...

Follow the lives of three seaweed farmers working to restore oceans, fight climate change, and uplift coastal communities through their farms.

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 27 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00099-wSeabirds are top predators and nutrient cyclers in marine island ecosystems, but are threatened by risk of extinction. This Review explores the circular seabird economy around islands and discusses how healthy seabird populations can support more resilient island ecosystems.

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 f....

npj Ocean Sustainability - Seascape connectivity: evidence, knowledge gaps and implications for temperate coastal ecosystem restoration practice and policy

En colaboración con el CSIC. Por qué los restos vegetales en la arena son mucho más que basura marina: claves para entender su papel ecológico y proteger nuestras costas.

My colleague Dr. Julia Wester and I have a new paper out in the journal Integrative and Comparative Biology reporting on the results of a survey distributed to over 800 scientists, science educator…

Understanding the carbon sequestration potential of blue carbon ecosystems is important to inform climate policies and to guide restoration and protec…

We systematically reviewed literature on macroalgal degradation. To date, most degradation experiments are carried out in aquaria or shallow environments, span short timescales or rarely incorporate ...

Roger Pielke Jr. and oil industry supporters are attacking climate scientist Friederike Otto, whose work has been used in lawsuits against polluters.

Mutualistic interactions among organisms are fundamental to the origin and maintenance of biodiversity. Yet, the study of community dynamics often relies on values averaged at the species level, igno...

Climate change and land mismanagement are creating increasingly fire-prone built and natural environments. However, despite worsening fire seasons, evidence is lacking globally for trends in socially ...

La evidencia científica puede iluminar el camino, pero solo si quienes la generan asumen su rol social con valentía y compromiso. La política será más efectiva y la ciencia será más relevante, cuando ambas reconozcan que su destino está entrelazado.
