With the acceleration of the global biodiversity and climate crises, the need to protect and
sustainably manage ocean resources has never been greater. However, the science …

Abstract The Central and South Atlantic represents a vast ocean area and is home to a
diverse range of ecosystems and species. Nevertheless, and similar to the rest of the global …

Aim Latitudinal and bathymetric species diversity gradients in the deep sea have been
identified, but studies have rarely considered these gradients across hard substratum …

The ocean has considerable potential to function as a carbon sink, absorbing anthropogenic
CO2 and buffering the effects of climate change. How the culture of shellfish can be used to …

The seabed of the Antarctic continental shelf hosts most of Antarctica's known species,
including taxa considered indicative of vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs). Nonetheless …

Introduction The Arctic sea ice extent in September (when it is at its lowest) has declined
13% Q10 per decade, and the Arctic Ocean is becoming a more Atlantic-influenced system …

Ecosystem-based conservation that includes carbon sinks, alongside a linked carbon credit
system, as part of a nature-based solution to combating climate change, could help reduce …

High-latitude ecosystems have been overlooked in carbon budgets, which traditionally focus
on mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses. The benthic assemblages and their Nature …

Pricing blue carbon will allow the monetization of the implicit carbon sequestration value of
socioeconomic activities in marine ecosystems. This will empower those engaged in marine …

Carbon fixation, storage, and eventual sequestration by marine ecosystems are known as
“blue carbon”. This carbon uptake by the oceanic biological pump reduces atmospheric …
