A machine learning-based detection, classification, and quantification of marine litter along the central east coast of India Open
Globally, the growth of plastic production has increased exponentially from 1.5 million metric tons (Mt) in 1950 to 400.3 Mt in 2022, resulting in a substantial increase of marine litter along the coastal region. Presently, there is a grow…

The QUANTIFICATION, CHARACTERISATION, SOURCE AND FATE OF PAST AND PRESENT CARBON STORAGE IN COASTAL AND OFFSHORE SEDIMENTS FOR EFFECTIVE MARINE MANAGEMENT (QUEST) Open
Globally, continental shelf environments, and the marine sediments therein, have been recognised as having significant roles to play in the sequestration, cycling and storage of. Recently, shelf sediments have been identified as the larges…

Locally refined spatial predictions of marine sediment carbon stocks from legacy data Open
The recent “30 by 30” global initiative to protect 30% of the world’s land and ocean by 2030 has increased the need for marine spatial planning decisions to be grounded in locally relevant empirical evidence. Continental …

Adaptation of sea turtles to climate warming: Will phenological responses be sufficient to counteract changes in reproductive output? Open
Sea turtles are vulnerable to climate change since their reproductive output is influenced by incubating temperatures, with warmer temperatures causing lower hatching success and increased feminization of embryos. Their ability to cope wit…

Increasing knowledge to restore oyster beds and related services in the Arabian-Persian Gulf Open
The historical collapse of the pearl oyster ecosystem in the Arabian-Persian Gulf contributed to the long-term loss of biological and economic functionality within key shallow-water marine environments. This study introduces important aspe…

Methylmercury, Trace Metals, Organotins and Their Effects on the Qatari Mangrove Shrimp, Palaemon khori Open
The Qatari mangroves of Al-Khor are being increasingly exposed to a wide variety of anthropogenic pollutants due to land reclamation and urban expansion. In this study, we evaluated the lethal and genotoxic effects of methylmercury, trace …
