A revolutionary study by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) and the University of Cadiz has made it possible to detect marine trash from space. This study, published lately in the journal Nature Communications, shows how satellites can estimate the amount of litter, primarily plastic, on the sea surface a [...]
Waste leakage into aquatic habitats is a major global concern, endangering ecosystems and human health. Inadequate trash disposal and management, particularly for plastic debris, has contaminated nearly every major ocean basin, seashores, streams, lakes, and even distant regions such as the North Atlantic and Antarctic. While prior research has mostly [...]
To address the mounting dangers to reef ecosystems, researchers at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) invented a groundbreaking technique for forecasting coral disease. This technique represents a significant leap in marine conservation, allowing conservationists to execute immediate actions that can reduce the effects of [...]
