Use of Conceptual Mapping in the Offshore Multiuse Setting: Implications for complex biosystems development Open
The offshore Multiuse Setting (MUS) is a concept that seeks to co-locate marine industrial activities including wind farms, aquaculture, and tourism. MUS are thought to be an innovative way to promote efficiency in resource use. Despite th…

Seaweed aquaculture through the lens of gender: Participation, roles, pay and empowerment in Bantayan, Philippines Open
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food-producing sectors worldwide. Of particular importance is the cultivation of seaweed, particularly in East and Southeast Asia where seaweeds dominate the production market, and are key for coas…

Planning and licensing for marine aquaculture Open
Marine aquaculture has the potential to increase its contribution to the global food system and provide valuable ecosystem services, but appropriate planning, licensing and regulation systems must be in place to enable sustainable developm…

Multiple New Paralytic Shellfish Toxin Vectors in Offshore North Sea Benthos, a Deep Secret Exposed Open
In early 2018, a large easterly storm hit the East Anglian coast of the UK, colloquially known as the ‘Beast from the East’, which also resulted in mass strandings of benthic organisms. There were subsequent instances of dogs consuming suc…

Seasonal and Temporal Drivers Influencing Phytoplankton Community in Kuwait Marine Waters: Documenting a Changing Landscape in the Gulf Open
This assessment of environmental drivers and phytoplankton community in Kuwait (Arabian Gulf) describes changes in environmental conditions linked to the rapid urbanization over recent decades. To describe these changes, we have analyzed a…

A decline in primary production in the North Sea over 25 years, associated with reductions in zooplankton abundance and fish stock recruitment Open
Phytoplankton primary production is at the base of the marine food web; changes in primary production have direct or indirect effects on higher trophic levels, from zooplankton organisms to marine mammals and seabirds. Here, we present a n…

Decrease in water clarity of the southern and central North Sea during the 20th century Open
Light in the marine environment is a key environmental variable coupling physics to marine biogeochemistry and ecology. Weak light penetration reduces light available for photosynthesis, changing energy fluxes through the marine food web. …
