Conservationists find ‘bright spots’ around the globe. Here’s why they matter
Every few years, the elders of Muluk, a tiny coastal community in Papua New Guinea, close a stretch of their reef to fishing. They do this to give these underwater gardens room to breathe, grow and replenish. We first stumbled on this community-led approach back in 2001. These reefs appeared to be faring remarkably well compared to those further down the coast. This piqued our interest and led us to conduct a global search for other reef ecosystems that were seemingly defying the odds.

Riset: Banyak penyelam remehkan dampak scuba diving bagi terumbu karang
Penyelaman dengan membawa alat pernapasan mandiri (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus/SCUBA) atau skuba sering dipotret sebagai salah satu kisah sukses ekowisata laut. Setiap tahun, jutaan orang menyelam ke bawah laut untuk menyaksikan langsung keindahan terumbu karang. Aktivitas ini menghasikan cuan bagi masyarakat pesisir dan sekaligus membantu masyarakat memahami pentingnya terumbu karang. Namun, keberhasilan tersebut juga menghadirkan tantangan bagi upaya konservasi.
Many scuba divers don’t realize they damage reefs
Scuba diving is often presented as a success story for marine ecotourism. Each year millions of people dive beneath the surface to experience coral reefs first-hand. Scuba diving generates income for coastal communities and helps people understand why coral reefs matter. But that success also brings a conservation challenge. It brings tourists into direct contact with sensitive coral ecosystems, where a misplaced fin, hand or camera can add to the stresses reefs already face.

AI-driven adaptive vibration control in smart plate systems: a sustainable approach for next-generation sports engineering
Abstract The current paper proposes an AI-based method for the vibration control of smart plate systems. The application is set for next-generation sports engineering, where performance enhancement is the main goal. The system consists of a core of coarse aggregate ultra-high-performance concrete (CA-UHPA) and piezoelectric face sheets, which are mounted on an elastic foundation. The properties of the material composite are foreseen based on the Halpin–Tsai models and the law of mixtures.
Extent of threats to marine fish from the online aquarium trade in the United States
INTRODUCTION The marine aquarium fish trade spans over 100 countries and involves more than 2000 species, the majority of which are wild caught to meet international demand (Miller-Morgan, 2010; Rhyne, Tlusty, Szczebak, and Holmberg, 2017). In spite of its vast scale, the trade has consistently lagged behind other wildlife markets in research and policy attention (Scheffers et al., 2019; Smith et al., 2008).
Large-range polarization scattering imaging with an unsupervised multi-task dynamic-modulated framework
The adaptability of most polarization scattering imaging, such as supervised learning-related and physics-based algorithms, is still limited, especially in dynamic or variable scattering environments. More importantly, it is a challenge to obtain a sufficient amount of polarization data for practical applications.

The Seagrass Species That Is Not So Slowly Taking Over the World
It started life in the Indian Ocean, hitched a ride to the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal and kept pushing west. Now the fast-growing seagrass known as Halophila stipulacea is expanding in the Caribbean as waters warm, outcompeting important native grasses. It’s the definition of an invasive species. But how bad is this globetrotter? Scientists are trying to understand the consequences of its spread because healthy seagrass is critical to ocean life—and us.

New Study Finds Missing Apex Predators Are Too Often Neglected in Ecological Research
Using gray wolves in the American West as a case study, new research shows scientists often fail to recognize the “shifting ecological baseline” regarding apex predators in their work. Change the world slowly enough, and even scientists can turn into something like the proverbial frogs in a saucepan, unaware that they are gradually starting to boil.

Paper parks: most of the world's Marine Protected Areas lack enough protection
This story was originally published by Inside Climate News and appears here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Many existing marine protected areas might be something like screen doors on a submarine, at least as far as their impact on ocean conservation. A new study finds that only a third of the world’s largest marine protected areas (MPAs) currently implement meaningful conservation measures. Increasingly, marine conservation is the art of separating humans from parts of the ocean.

Determinants of microbiome composition: Insights from free‐ranging hybrid zebras (Equus quagga × grevyi)
1 INTRODUCTION Gut microbiomes are important for organismal function in a diverse suite of animals (D'Argenio, 2018; Neish, 2009; Sommer & Bäckhed, 2013). Among other roles, symbiotic microbes in the digestive tract break down food and toxins and convert them into forms that their hosts can assimilate (Bäckhed et al., 2005; Neish, 2009; Schluter & Foster, 2012).
Research reveals the secret sites where America's migrating songbirds stop to rest and refuel
Every year, billions of birds migrate thousands of miles from their summer breeding ranges to their warmer wintering ranges and back. However, the question of where these birds stop to rest and refuel along the way has long stumped ornithologists. Princeton Ph.D. student Fengyi Guo and her colleagues from Princeton and the University of Delaware address this question in a newly published paper by using weather radar imagery to map the birds' migratory stopover sites in North America.

Coral reefs and coastal tourism in Hawaii - Nature Sustainability
Abstract Coral reefs are popular for their vibrant biodiversity. By combining web-scraped Instagram data from tourists and high-resolution live coral cover maps in Hawaii, we find that, regionally, coral reefs both attract and suffer from coastal tourism. Higher live coral cover attracts reef visitors, but that visitation contributes to subsequent reef degradation.
Tailoring Release Profiles of BCS Class II Drugs Using Controlled Release Amorphous Solid Dispersion Beads with Membrane-Reservoir Design: Effect of Pore Former and Coating Levels
Poor aqueous solubility is a major limiting factor during the development of BCS Class II drug candidates in a solid oral dosage form. Conventional amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) systems focus on maximizing the rate and extent of release by employing water-soluble polymeric crystallization inhibitors; however, they often encounter rapid supersaturation and solution-mediated phase transformation (SMPT).
