A Global Review of Cumulative Pressure and Impact Assessments in Marine Environments.
(2016)Ever more extensive use of marine space by human activities and greater demands for marine natural resources has led to increases in both duration and spatial extent of pressures on the marine environment. In parallel, the ... -
Nonintrusive methods for biomass estimation in aquaculture with emphasis on fish: a review.
(2020)Fish biomass estimation is one of the most common and important practices in aquaculture. The regular acquisition of fish biomass information has been identified as an urgent need for managers to optimize daily feeding, ... -
SeaFlux: harmonization of air–sea CO2 fluxes from surface pCO2 data products using a standardized approach.
(2021)Air–sea flux of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a critical component of the global carbon cycle and the climate system with the ocean removing about a quarter of the CO2 emitted into the atmosphere by human activities over the ... -
Photo-identification Capture-Mark-Recapture Techniques for Estimating Abundance of Bay, Sound and Estuary Populations of Bottlenose Dolphins along the U.S. East Coast and Gulf of Mexico: a Workshop Report.
(NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center, Miami, FL, 2011)Bay, sound and estuary (BSE) populations of bottlenose dolphins are common along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts. NOAA Fisheries currently identifies 9 BSE stocks in the Atlantic and 32 in the northern Gulf of ... -
Abundance and survival rates of the Hawai’i Island associated spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) stock.
(2014)Reliable population estimates are critical to implement effective management strategies. The Hawai’i Island spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) is a genetically distinct stock that displays a rigid daily behavioural ... -
Machine Learning Predicts the Presence of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene in Sediments of a Baltic Sea Munitions Dumpsite Using Microbial Community Compositions.
(2021)Bacteria are ubiquitous and live in complex microbial communities. Due to differences in physiological properties and niche preferences among community members, microbial communities respond in specific ways to environmental ... -
New Ocean Subsurface Optical Properties From Space Lidars: CALIOP/CALIPSO and ATLAS/ICESat-2.
(2021)Remote sensing from Earth-observing satellites is now providing valuable information about ocean phytoplankton distributions. This paper presents the new ocean subsurface optical properties obtained from two space-based ... -
SIPCO2: A simple, inexpensive surface water pCO2 sensor.
(2017)Efforts to estimate air-water carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange on regional or global scales are constrained by a lack of direct, continuous surface water CO2 observations. Sensor technology for the in situ measurement of ... -
Ocean Data Product Integration Through Innovation-The Next Level of Data Interoperability.
(2019)In the next decade the pressures on ocean systems and the communities that rely on them will increase along with impacts from the multiple stressors of climate change and human activities. Our ability to manage and sustain ... -
High-Precision Combined Tidal Forecasting Model.
(2019)To improve the overall accuracy of tidal forecasting and ameliorate the low accuracy of single harmonic analysis, this paper proposes a combined tidal forecasting model based on harmonic analysis and autoregressive ... -
A Review of modelling approaches on tidal analysis and prediction.
(2019)Tide height depends on both long-term astronomical effects that are principally affected by the moon and sun and short-term meteorological effects caused by severe weather conditions which are very important tasks for human ... -
New and updated global empirical seawater property estimation routines.
(2021)We introduce three new Empirical Seawater Property Estimation Routines (ESPERs) capable of predicting seawater phosphate, nitrate, silicate, oxygen, total titration seawater alkalinity, total hydrogen scale pH (pHT), ... -
Enabling local blue growth in developing countries: a thematic review.
(Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, Gothenburg, Sweden, 2021)Blue growth – the prospect of economic revenue and wellbeing from the sustainable use of ocean resources – has caught the interest of most coastal and island nations of the world, including many developing countries. The ... -
Key Aquatic Animal Welfare Recommendations for Aquaculture.
(Aquatic Animal Alliance, New York, NY, 2020)This document is intended to provide an overview of what the Aquatic Animal Alliance, having consulted with experts globally, has identified as key areas where welfare intervention is most needed for animals used in ... -
Video demonstrating how to set-up, deploy and operate a Baited Remote Underwater Video System. [Training Video]
(Octopi Africa (Pty) Ltd and Array Media (Pty) Ltd, Cape Town, South Africa, 2021)Baited remote underwater stereo-video systems, or stereo-BRUVs, are minimally invasive sampling tools used to collect data on the diversity, abundance and size of fishes as well as information on the benthic habitat where ... -
First Application of IFCB High-Frequency Imaging-in-Flow Cytometry to Investigate Bloom-Forming Filamentous Cyanobacteria.
(2021)Cyanobacteria are an important part of phytoplankton communities, however, they are also known for forming massive blooms with potentially deleterious effects on recreational use, human and animal health, and ecosystem ... -
Lessons from a Marine Spatial Planning data management process for Ireland.
(2021)This paper presents a framework containing ten components to deliver a data management process for the storage and management of data used for Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) in Ireland. The work includes a data process ... -
Video demonstrating how to set-up, deploy and operate a shallow-water drop camera system. [Training video]
(Octopi Africa (Pty) Ltd and Array Media (Pty) Ltd, Cape Town, South Africa, 2021)Drop cameras are simple frame-deployed systems of various configurations that are designed to take photographic still images or videos of the seafloor. These tools are non-destructive and can go to beyond SCUBA depths, ... -
Evaluating LoRaWAN Connectivity in a Marine Scenario.
(2021)The growing need for interoperability among the different oceanic monitoring systems to deliver services able to answer the requirements of stakeholders and end-users led to the development of a low-cost machine-to-machine ... -
Long-term passive acoustic recordings track the changing distribution of North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) from 2004 to 2014.
(2017)Given new distribution patterns of the endangered North Atlantic right whale (NARW; Eubalaena glacialis) population in recent years, an improved understanding of spatio-temporal movements are imperative for the conservation ...
