Marine habitats around Sark could be getting extra safeguards through a new protection order.

Replacing animal protein sourced from marine capture fisheries with animal protein from agriculture will likely increase the threats to biodiversity given current human diets. Approximately half th...

The need for diversification of energy sources is driving the expansion of offshore wind farms, which is, in turn, amplifying their impact on marine e…

Applications are invited for three 3.5 year PhD studentships: Benefits and impacts of use of light in UK fisheries and their wider effect on the marine...

The flapper skate is critically endangered and are top predators and their absence, like taking wolves from a forest, can lead to impacts cascading through the ecosystem. It is hard to imagine that a ...

Fishermen off Valencia Island have astonished marine experts by catching a fish long thought extinct in Irish waters.

The recent Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) sets ambitious goals but no clear pathway for how zero loss of important biodiversity areas and halting human-induced extinction of thre...

npj Ocean Sustainability - What is an ecologically or biologically significant area?

A new study uses a paleotidal model to trace the formation of carbon-rich mud deposits over thousands of years.

The amount of carbon released by seabed fishing worldwide is uncertain and must be urgently investigated, researchers say. Convex Seascape Survey scientists are studying the impact of fishing methods ...

Once abundant in Irish waters, overfishing and climate change have decimated their numbers - affecting not just the fishing industry but the Northeast Atlantic ecosystem

Postdoctoral Researcher in Ecological Modelling or Trait-based Ecology

Many small-scale fisheries (SSFs) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) operate in ecologically sensitive areas, where balancing conservation and resource use is challenging. 'Multiple-use' marine ...
