As the EU's commitment to renewable energy is projected to grow to 20% of energy
generation by 2020, the use of marine renewable energy from wind, wave and tidal …

Blue carbon is the carbon sequestered by coastal and marine habitats such as mangroves,
saltmarsh, and seagrasses. The carbon sequestration service provided by these habitats …

Marine ecosystems are prone to tip** points, particularly in coastal zones where dramatic
changes are associated with interactions between cumulative stressors (eg, shellfish …

This study aims to characterize and compare the feeding ecology of the European eels
(Anguilla anguilla L.) during the continental phase (ie yellow and silver) along a salinity …

Emerging research shows that microplastic pollution could be impacting seafloor ecosystem
function, but this has been primarily demonstrated without environmental and ecological …

Estuarine intertidal flats are known for high rates of primary production, however, globally
these ecosystems are under threat from rising sea‐level and accelerated inputs of terrestrial …

Benthic macrofauna are a key component of intertidal ecosystems. Their mobility and
behavior determine processes like nutrient cycling and the biogeomorphic development of …

Nutrient loading is a major threat to estuaries and coastal environments worldwide,
therefore, it is critical that we have good monitoring tools to detect early signs of degradation …

The ongoing loss of biodiversity and global environmental changes severely affect the
structure of coastal ecosystems. Consequences, in terms of ecosystem functioning, are …

The degradation of ecosystems is often associated with losses of large organisms and the
concomitant losses of the ecological functions they mediate. Conversely, the resilience of …
