Global ocean physical and chemical trends are reviewed updated using seven key climate change indicators: (i) Sea Surface Temperature, (ii) Ocean Heat Content, (iii) pH, (iv) Dissolved Oxygen concentration (v) Arctic Ice extent, thickness, volume (vi) Level (vii) the strength of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The globally averaged surface temperature shows a mean warming trend 0.062 ± 0.013°C per decade over last 120 years (1900–2019). During (2010–2019) rate has...
The Copernicus Marine Services State of Pacific Ocean analysis available data demonstrates that the ocean surrounding Islands is warmer, has higher heat content, with sea level rising at rates
Among the various challenges facing tropical tuna purse seine fleet are need to reduce fuel consumption and carbon footprint, as well minimising bycatch of vulnerable species. Tools designed for forecasting optimum fishing grounds can contribute adapting changes in fish distribution due climate change, by identifying location new suitable grounds, thus reducing search time. While information about high probability find species could result a reduction. The present study aims at contributing...

Abstract Aim During their migration, highly mobile species cross multiple jurisdictional boundaries and not‐specific marine protected areas (MPAs). When identifying the critical habitats where individuals aggregate, these can be ideal candidates for MPAs. This study was focused on endangered fin whale ( Balaenoptera physalus ) which there is little knowledge its distribution abundance in non‐breeding temperate latitudes. Location Bay of Biscay (BoB). Methods Firstly, we modelled relative...
This study examined diversity and habitat characteristics for bycatch assemblages in two different types of fishing (drifting fish aggregating devices sets made on school tunas) the eastern Pacific Ocean (20ºS-30ºN 70º-150ºW) between 2005 2011 using biodiversity metrics Generalized Additive Models. Bycatch information was based data collected by onboard observers covering more than 80% purse seine trips. Our results suggest that differ depending mode. Thus, mostly explained area set type;...

Satellite altimeters provide continuous information of the sea level variability and mesoscale processes for global ocean. For estimating above geoid monitoring full ocean dynamics from measurements, a key reference surface is needed: The Mean Dynamic Topography (MDT). However, in coastal areas, where, situ measurements are sparse typical scales motion generally smaller than deep ocean, MDT solutions less accurate open even if significant improvement has been done past years. An opportunity...
Coastal mesoscale eddies are important oceanic structures partially responsible for regulating ocean-shelf exchanges. However, their description and characterization challenging; observations often too scarce studying physical properties environmental impacts at the required spatio-temporal resolution. Therefore, models data extrapolation methods key tools this purpose. Observations from high-frequency radar, one satellite two gliders, used here to better characterize three-dimensional...
To effectively future-proof the management of European Union fishing fleets we have explored a suite case studies encompassing northeast and tropical Atlantic, Mediterranean, Baltic Black Seas. This study shows that (EU) fisheries are likely resilient to climate-driven short-term stresses, but may be negatively impacted by long-term trends in climate change. However, fisheries’ stock resilience can improved (and therefore more increasing changes climate) adopting robust adaptive management,...
Abstract. Land-based coastal high-frequency (HF) radar systems provide operational measurements of surface currents (within 1–3 m depth) with high spatial (300 m–10 km) and temporal (≤1 h) sampling resolutions, while the near-continuous altimetry missions information, from 1993 until today, on geostrophic in global ocean typical along-track resolutions >7 km >9 days, respectively. During last years, community has made a step forward improving these data area, where present lower...
