Aquatic ecosystems are degraded by a variety of pressures as a result of the growing human population. Global‐scale impacts include homogenization of biological communities …
It is important for marine scientists and conservationists to frequently estimate the relative abundance of fish species in their habitats and monitor changes in their populations. As …
Mapping trawling pressure on the benthic habitats is needed as background to support an ecosystem approach to fisheries management. The extent and intensity of bottom trawling …
Sharks are considered the apex predator of coral reefs, but the consequences of their global depletion are uncertain. Here we explore the ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs and …

Bottom trawling is widespread globally and impacts seabed habitats. However, risks from trawling remain unquantified at large scales in most regions. We address these issues by …
Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1055–1071 Abstract Whereas many land predators disappeared before their ecological roles were studied, the decline of marine apex predators is still …
The management and conservation of the world's oceans require synthesis of spatial data on the distribution and intensity of human activities and the overlap of their impacts on …

Deployment of floating solar photovoltaic installations (floatovoltaics) is advancing, with various designs beginning to appear in a range of marine environments. Insight from …
It is interesting to develop effective fish sampling techniques using underwater videos and image processing to automatically estimate and consequently monitor the fish biomass and …
