Anthropogenic pressures reshaping the ecosystem of Burullus lagoon (Nile Delta): Diatom evidence of post-Aswan Dam perspective [0.03%]
Yanna Wang,Zhongpeng Yang,Huawei Wang et al.
Yanna Wang et al.
The Nile Delta is extremely vulnerable due to scarce freshwater input under an arid climate setting. Lagoonal eco-setting has been aggravated by remarkably low sediment and water from the Nile River, but high wastewater discharge since the ...
Protocol optimization for microplastic analysis in sea turtles: Including the first blood digestion method [0.03%]
Giulia de Andrade Lima Bertotti,Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de Moura,Gabriela Uchôa Souza de Medeiros et al.
Giulia de Andrade Lima Bertotti et al.
Sea turtles are particularly vulnerable to bioaccumulation of microplastics due to their long life cycles, trophic diversity, and migratory behavior. However, standardized methodologies for processing complex biological samples remain limit...

Sea surface chlorophyll-a (SSC) variability in the Seto Inland Sea (SIS), Japan's largest semi-enclosed coastal system, reflects complex interactions among stratification, riverine inputs, oceanic exchange, and extreme climate events. Using...
Modulations of shallow sea wave-related seismic noise revealed during a sea-ice freeze-thaw cycle [0.03%]

As a key component of the marine soundscape, ocean ambient noise has a significant impact on underwater acoustic detection. However, the observational understanding of very low-frequency noise dynamics during sea-ice freeze-thaw cycles in s...
Rapid screening of ecological risks from marine plastic pellet pollution: A case study following a shipwreck [0.03%]
Athul Koppalthodikayil,Akhila Sasikala,Shajikumar Valakuzhi Kochukunju et al.
Athul Koppalthodikayil et al.
Shipwreck incidents such as the M/V X-Press Pearl (Srilanka), and MSC ELSA 3 (Kerala) have released large quantities of plastic pellets, causing widespread coastal microplastic contamination. These events highlight ship-related spills as ma...
Halocline-associated microplastic accumulation in a weakly mixed estuary: Insights from the Oyabe River, Japan [0.03%]
Tomoko Kyuka,Kento Funasaki,Koyomi Nakazawa et al.
Tomoko Kyuka et al.
Microplastic (MP) pollution is a critical global issue, yet its oceanic concentrations are far lower than predicted riverine inputs due to temporary estuarine retention. Currently, the vertical behaviour of MP in weakly mixed systems remain...
A Cross-Domain Mamba Network with joint spatial-frequency learning for robust SAR oil spill detection [0.03%]
Pu Song,Peng Yu,Xiaojing Zhong et al.
Pu Song et al.
Marine oil spills pose severe threats to ecosystems, prompting the development of synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-based detection technologies. Nevertheless, critical challenges persist. First, prevalent "look-alikes" in SAR imagery manifest...
Dynamic source apportionment of heavy metals in Bohai Bay sediments using a temporally hierarchical PCA-APCS-HBM model [0.03%]
Qiulian Wang,Long Han,Tong Han et al.
Qiulian Wang et al.
This study investigated heavy metal pollution in the Tianjin coastal area of Bohai Bay. Sediment samples were collected annually from 2018 to 2023, and the contents of seven heavy metals (mercury (Hg), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), ...
Fine-scale spatial variability, seasonal dynamics, and decadal trends of mercury contamination in Southern New England estuarine and coastal fishes [0.03%]
David L Taylor,Colby C Peters,Christopher Parkins et al.
David L Taylor et al.
Mercury (Hg) contamination in estuarine and coastal fishes represents a persistent risk to human health due to its neurotoxicity and potential for bioaccumulation, yet spatial, seasonal, and long-term variability in exposure remains poorly ...
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in Italian coastal mussels: Implications for environmental surveillance and food safety [0.03%]
Tamara Tavoloni,Arianna Stramenga,Simone Bacchiocchi et al.
Tamara Tavoloni et al.
Mussels are increasingly regarded as a sustainable and nutritionally valuable food resource, however, they are highly responsive to water quality changes and can accumulate pollutants. This study presents the results of an extensive monitor...
