New contribution on the distribution and ecology of Dendrophyllia ramea (Linnaeus, 1758): abundance hotspots off north-eastern Sicilian waters

Eva Salvati et al.

Summary: Dendrophyllia ramea is a poorly known arborescent scleractinian coral with limited distribution in the Mediterranean basin and the Atlantic Ocean; surveys along the Sicilian coast revealed relatively high abundance of this species. The impact of fishing gear varies, and the species is vulnerable to changes in the chemical-physical characteristics and circulation of sea water.

Distribution of seafloor litter and its interaction with benthic organisms in deep waters of the Ligurian Sea (Northwestern Mediterranean)

Michela Angiolillo et al.

Summary: The Mediterranean Sea is highly polluted and serves as a hotspot for marine litter. Research in the Ligurian Sea revealed high accumulation of litter in underwater canyons and seamounts, impacting benthic communities and deep-sea species. Urgent measures are needed to manage deep-sea pollution and reduce litter input in marine environments.
