Marine environmental conditions are highly distinct in the Yellow Sea, the East China
Sea, and the East/Japan Sea, with characteristics such as the shallow and turbid conditions
of the Yellow Sea, relatively warm subtropical conditions of the East…

Sea surface salinity (SSS) is an essential climate variable [1]. It is a key component of the water cycle,
as a tracer of precipitation and evaporation, river outflow and ice melt/freeze. It is a key driver of oceanic
circulation through its role…

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is widely used as an initial step towards an assessment
of environmental status. In the present study, underwater ambient sound recordings from two
monitoring locations in marine-protected areas (MPAs) of the Gulf…

Coral reefs are known to be among the most biodiverse marine ecosystems and one of the
richest in terms of associations and species interactions, especially those involving invertebrates such
as corals and sponges. Despite that, our knowledge about…

Bacterial motility is a widespread characteristic that can provide several advantages for the
cell, allowing it to move towards more favorable conditions and enabling host-associated processes
such as colonization. There are different bacterial…

Sea level changes and atmospheric pressure fluctuations, superimposed on these changes, are
of tremendous significance, and should be studied when researching various non-uniformly scaled
processes.
When studying various non-uniformly scaled…

Sea surface temperature (SST) has been defined byWorld Meteorological Organization
(WMO) as one of the essential climate variables (ECVs) contributing to the characterization
of Earth’s climate. As one of the ECVs, SST study and analysis have been…

The International Ocean Institute – Canada has compiled more than 80 insightful essays on the future of ocean governance and capacity development, based largely on themes of its Training Program at Dalhousie University in Canada, to honor the work of…

In recent decades, there has been an increase in the development of strategies for water ecosystem mapping and monitoring. Overall, this is primarily due to legislative efforts to improve the quality of water bodies and oceans. Remote sensing has…
