Distribution of the seagrass Halophila stipulacea: A big jump to the northwestern Mediterranean Sea

T. Thibaut et al.

Summary: This study reports the discovery of a population of Halophila stipulacea in Cannes, French Riviera, representing the northernmost locality of the species in the Mediterranean. The species is likely introduced through mega-yacht or cruise ship anchoring, highlighting the lack of effective regulation to prevent the introduction of non-indigenous species in France and Europe.

Climate Change Impact Chains: A Review of Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities for Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessments

Linda Menk et al.

Summary: Shifting towards cause-oriented and systemic approaches in sustainable climate change adaptation requires a solid understanding of the causes behind climate risks. Capturing, systemizing, and prioritizing factors contributing to climate risks are essential for cause-oriented climate risk assessments. Impact chains (IC) are used to capture hazard, vulnerability, and exposure factors that lead to specific risks. Challenges and opportunities for improving IC modeling include integrating dynamic feedback and stakeholder involvement. There is still limited understanding of systems, data, and uncertainties in quantifiable and executable models. Using IC to capture the underlying complex processes behind risk supports effective climate change adaptation.

Linking Ocean's Benefits to People (OBP) with Integrated Ecosystem Assessments (IEAs)

Andrea Belgrano et al.

Summary: The challenge of incorporating the human dimension of the oceans in Integrated Ecosystem Assessments presents an opportunity for a transdisciplinary approach to create synergies between current research efforts by ICES and IPBES. Ocean inequality is highlighted as a critical aspect to address in order to integrate social sciences into marine assessments. To bridge these gaps, an Ocean's Benefits to People framework has been developed, which embraces the blue economy, equity, UN SDGs, and supports Ecosystem-Based Management for the oceans.

Impact of Ocean Acidification on Ecosystem Functioning and Services in Habitat-Forming Species and Marine Ecosystems

Serena Zunino et al.

Summary: The study used a food web ecosystem model to simulate the impact of ocean acidification on habitat-forming species biomass, and investigated the trophic and non-trophic cascading effects on the whole marine community. The findings indicate that changes in ecosystem indicators lead to a decrease in system size and a reorganization of energy flows.

Contribution of Posidonia oceanica meadows in the context of climate change mitigation in the Mediterranean Sea

Christine Pergent-Martini et al.

Summary: Coastal marine vegetation, particularly the Mediterranean endemic species Posidonia oceanica, demonstrates high efficiency in carbon fixation and storage, making it a significant carbon sink in the efforts to mitigate climate change.

A review of the combined effects of climate change and other local human stressors on the marine environment

Elena Gissi et al.

Summary: Climate change is a key driver of change in marine ecosystems globally, while local human stressors can interact with and modify its effects. Understanding the combined effects of climate change and local stressors on marine ecosystems is crucial for management and planning, but knowledge in this area is currently fragmented.

Toxicological risks on the human health of populations living around the Mediterranean Sea linked to the invasion of non-indigenous marine species from the Red Sea: A review

R. Bedry et al.

Summary: The Mediterranean region is a popular travel destination, with over 330 million tourists in 2016 visiting mainly for seaside holidays. The introduction of thermophilic Red Sea species through the Suez Canal has raised concerns about health risks from venomous and poisonous marine species among scientists, medical personnel, and the public. As factors driving the introduction and dispersal of Red Sea biota in the Mediterranean are set to increase and international tourist arrivals are forecasted to rise to 500 million by 2030, an increase in intoxications and envenomations by alien marine species is expected and should be prepared for.
