Global biodiversity targets have far-reaching implications for nature conservation worldwide.
The current regime governing Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ) as a global commons has resulted in overutilization of fisheries resources and patchwork attempts to regulate resource extraction
The current paper critically reviews the state-of-the-science on (1) microplastics (MP) types and particle concentrations in freshwater ecosystems, (2) MP and nanoplastics (NP) uptake and tissue trans
Microplastics are widespread contaminants, virtually present in all environmental compartments.
This review provides insight into the abundance, origin, distribution and composition of MPs in the sea surface and water column of the Mediterranean Sea.
Plastics entering the environment will persist and continue to degrade and fragment to smaller particles under the action of various environmental factors.
Bivalve habitats were once a dominant ecosystem in temperate and subtropical estuaries worldwide.
The pollution of the marine environment by solid wastes, either directly introduced into the sea or discharged into the oceans from rivers or pipelines, is considered from the perspective of both thei
Rapid ocean warming as a result of climate change poses a key risk for coral reefs.
The Mediterranean Sea is affected by one of the most significant plastic pollution worldwide.
