Abstract Improving the health of coastal and open sea marine ecosystems represents a substantial challenge for sustainable resource management, since it requires balancing human benefits impacts on ocean. This is often exacerbated by incomplete knowledge lack tools that measure ocean ecosystem in way allows consistent monitoring progress towards predefined management targets. The such limits capabilities to enact enforce effective governance. We introduce Baltic Health Index (BHI) as...

Seaweed beds within tropical seascapes have received little attention as potential fish habitat, despite other vegetated habitats, such seagrass meadows and mangroves, commonly being recognised important nurseries for numerous species. In addition, studies of habitats rarely investigate assemblages across different macrophyte communities. Therefore, the aim present study was to role seaweed particularly juvenile fish, by comparing their with those closely situated beds. Fish were assessed...

Abstract Due to low salinity and lack of hard substrata, the Baltic Sea Kattegat area German Danish North coasts are characterized by a relatively diversity seaweeds. At same time areas severely eutrophicated, which has caused extensive shifts in macroalgal communities toward opportunistic species. Unattached seaweed dominated Furcellaria lumbricalis , have been resource for hydrocolloid production since 1940s, reduced due eutrophication unsustainable harvesting nowadays only exploited...

While marine seagrass habitats are acknowledged as sinks for carbon and nutrients, much less is known about sequestration in brackish-water vegetation. Here, we quantify the amount of organic (Corg) total nitrogen (TN) shallow bay sediments (0-25 cm) brackish Baltic Sea assess how it varies with morphometric isolation from sea, catchment characteristics abundance The sedimentary Corg TN content per surface area varied across gradient (mean Corg: 2500-4600 g/m2; mean TN: 320-570 g/m2),...

Coastal ecosystems play a significant role in the cycling of greenhouse gases (GHGs), yet they remain understudied compared to open oceans and terrestrial systems. Here, we present measurements carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O) concentrations from shallow coastal environments along Swedish Baltic Sea coast Auckland, New Zealand, highlighting variability drivers GHG dynamics across diverse habitats.In Sea, conducted April September 2024,...

Environmental compensation should address negative impacts from human activities on nature, including loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, successful compensation, achieving no net loss, requires broad quantitative information different types losses gains. We find that the scope compensatory schemes varies in what is considered compensable, which makes it challenging to apply a conceptual approach consistently across with needs. propose flexible yet structured framework for...

Abstract Hypoxia is presently seen as the principal driver behind decline of former dominating Eastern Baltic cod stock (EBC; Gadus morhua). It has been proposed that both worsening conditions for reproduction and lower individual growth, condition, survival are linked to hypoxia. Here, we elucidate ecological envelope EBC in terms salinity stratification, oxygen content, benthic animal biomasses, how it affected productivity over time. The spawning started deteriorating Gotland Deep 1950s...
