Monitoring of a sediment plume produced by a deep-sea mining test in shallow water, Málaga Bight, Alboran Sea (southwestern Mediterranean Sea) Universiteit Gent Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
In this study different experimental designs for monitoring of sediment plumes produced by deep-sea mining are presented. Plumes of sediment stirred up from the seabed by mining machines are considered to represent a major environmental pressure which may extend far beyond the actual mining area. Two industry field tests with the scaled mining vehicle Apollo II of Royal IHC conducted in a relatively shallow setting offshore southern Spain ...

Long-term patterns of hydrocarbon biodegradation and bacterial community composition in epipelagic and mesopelagic zones of an Arctic fjord Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
Oil spill attenuation in Arctic marine environments depends on oil-degrading bacteria. However, the seasonally harsh conditions in the Arctic such as nutrient limitations and sub-zero temperatures limit the activity even for bacteria capable of hydrocarbon metabolism at low temperatures. Here, we investigated whether the variance between epipelagic (seasonal temperature and inorganic nutrient variations) and mesopelagic zone (stable ...
Use of metabarcoding to detect non-indigenous species in Danish harbors: methods comparison Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
This report provides a comparison of non-indigenous species (NIS) in the marine environment detected using three different methods: conventional monitoring, and two eDNA molecular based methods: qPCR and metabarcoding. Conventional NIS detection is limited in early rapid detection of NIS, and eDNA are proposed as an alternative method, as eDNA is less invasive, is supposed to cover a larger area and potentially with a high level of detection. In ...
Hoe evolueren de recreatieve visvangsten op zee sinds 2017? Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
Impact of the citizen science project COLLECT on ocean literacy and well-being within a north/west African and south-east Asian context Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
Plastic pollution is both a societal and environmental problem and citizen science has shown to be a useful tool to engage both the public and professionals in addressing it. However, knowledge on the educational and behavioral impacts of citizen science projects focusing on marine litter remains limited. Our preregistered study investigates the impact of the citizen science project Citizen Observation of Local Litter in coastal ECosysTems ...
Sparse observations induce large biases in estimates of the global ocean CO2 sink: an ocean model subsampling experiment Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
Estimates of ocean CO2 uptake from global ocean biogeochemistry models and pCO2-based data products differ substantially, especially in high latitudes and in the trend of the CO2 uptake since 2000. Here, we assess the effect of data sparsity on two pCO2-based estimates by subsampling output from a global ocean biogeochemistry model. The estimates of the ocean CO2 uptake are improved from a sampling scheme that mimics present-day sampling to an ...
FAIR-EASE D5.1: Report on key requirement from use cases and pilots Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
The overall objective of the EOSC Horizon Europe FAIR-EASE project is to develop and operate distributed and integrated services for observation and modelling of the earth system, environment and biodiversity implemented in close cooperation with user-communities and research infrastructures in their very design and sustainable availability and evolution.The FAIR-EASE WP5 (Work Package) is in charge of coordinating the activities tackling three ...
