Challenges in Restoring Mediterranean Seagrass Ecosystems in the Anthropocene
The study analyzes the challenges of restoring Posidonia oceanica ecosystems in the Mediterranean, which have been severely degraded by human impact. It proposes preventive management strategies and active interventions, including the use of tolerant species such as Cymodocea nodosa, to promote natural recolonization.
Presence, levels, and distribution of organic and elemental pollutants in Zooplankton from theNorthwestern Mediterranean sea
The research analyzed samples from 40 sites across one of the most highly anthropized areas of the Mediterranean basin, providing an unprecedented quantitative and spatial assessment of marine pollution.
Unlocking the power of the Ocean: Ocean Energy Review
Ocean energy harnesses the natural power of tides, waves, temperature gradients, and salinity differences to produce clean electricity. This review explores the potential of ocean energy, outlines key environmental considerations, and suggests pathways to strengthen the sector’s responsible growth.
Utilities industry review - Ocean Impact Initiative
The utilities sector powers society, ensuring the supply of water, energy, and waste management services. This industry review examines the sector’s pressures on the ocean and highlights good practices to mitigate them.
Identifying and closing gaps in corporate reporting of ocean impacts
A recent study examines corporate transparency in the ocean economy by analysing sustainability and annual reports. It evaluates which impacts companies disclose, how they measure them, and whether they set targets, highlighting limited attention to ocean-specific impacts.
