Deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems, critical for global methane and sulphur cycling, require accurate connectivity data for effective conservation planning amid increasing anthropogenic threats. Becau...
Maritime Spatial Planning is a pivotal tool for the sustainable development of coastal areas and the implementation of the blue economy. It requires a spatially explicit environmental risk assessment,...
Human activities are exerting increasing pressure on the ocean, threatening marine biodiversity and the many benefits it provides to people. Allocating adequate space to enable the sustainable and equ...
Climate change is reshaping marine fish habitats. Yet the future habitats' redistribution of fishes that are both critically endangered (CR) and globally commercially exploited remains poorly understo...
There is a common misconception among ocean scientists and policy makers that mesopelagic (200-1000 m) food webs are an unexploited "final frontier" of living marine resources. It is true that there a...
Bottom trawl fisheries are recognized to be a global threat to marine biodiversity and a dominant driver of sea floor ecosystem change. Although the mechanism of trawling impact on benthic life is mor...
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely adopted to conserve marine biodiversity, yet their distributional impacts on resource-dependent communities remain underexplored. This study investigates socio...
