DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2019.106271
Abstract: Abstract Two-decade-long monitoring studies at Europe's first statutory marine reserve—Lough Hyne in SW Ireland—indicate that benthic communities are rapidly changing. Populations of the ecologically important purple urchin ( Paracentrotus lividus ) have fluctuated widely, most… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2019.05.065
Abstract: Toxic chemicals within and adsorbed to microplastics (0.05-5 mm) have the potential to biomagnify in food webs. However, microplastic concentrations in highly productive, coastal habitats are not well understood. Therefore, we quantified the presence of microplastics… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.2000537
Abstract: Overfishing threatens the sustainability of coastal marine biodiversity, especially in tropical developing countries. To counter this problem, about 200 governments worldwide have committed to protecting 10%–20% of national coastal marine areas. However, associated impacts on… read more here.
