Social media as a tool for documenting endangered and difficult to monitor marine species in Pacific Island Countries with evidence from Fiji - Jasha Dehm; Kimberly Samson; Devavrat Bishwa; Kelly T. Brown (Discover Oceans, 2025)
This study explores the potential of social media as a passive citizen science tool for documenting marine biodiversity in Fiji, offering a cost-effective and inclusive approach to biodiversity monitoring in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs). Analyzing 67 unique observations posted on Facebook from 2010 to 2024, seven megafauna groups were identified, including whales, dolphins, sharks, rays, wedgefish, seals and dugongs. Whales, dolphins, and sharks were the most frequently reported, with the humpback whale ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) and the bull shark ( Carcharhinus leucas ) among the most observed species. Of these observations, 80.6% were identified to species level, while 16.4% were identified only to genus level, highlighting the potential utility of social media for species documentation, despite inherent challenges such as low-quality images and insufficient metadata. Spatially, Facebook posts were only identified from 11 of Fiji’s 14 provinces, with the Rewa province reporting the most shark and ray sightings. However, the absence of standardized formats for posts and the lack of verification for species identification were identified as significant constraints in this process. To address these issues, we recommend introducing specific hashtags and outlining clear posting guidelines. Our findings demonstrate that regional social media can complement traditional monitoring techniques by offering real-time data, increasing public participation, and providing broader spatial and temporal coverage for biodiversity monitoring in PICTs.

The extreme Red Sea and its late Cenozoic shallow water benthic foraminifers - N. Öğretmen; F. Giovenzana; A. Khalifa; G. Mateu-Vicens; H. Westphal (Discover Oceans, 2025)
Semi-enclosed basins are more responsive to climate variations than the global ocean. This is true in particular for the Red Sea as a unique landlocked environment controlled by an interplay of its geographic, tectonic, and climatic features resulting in extreme salinities. Previous studies pointed to extreme salinities reaching > 53 during the low sea-level stands of glacial periods in the last 500 kyr. Yet our knowledge of the late Cenozoic evolution history of the Red Sea as a coral refuge and responses of coral reefs to these extreme salinities is scarce. Benthic foraminifers are key organisms for monitoring environmental changes in any marine setting, both shallow and deep, throughout geological times and to the present day. Here we provide a synthesis of the shallow-water benthic foraminifers that occupy the photic zones of the Red Sea environment based on the published studies, to reassess the variable saline conditions of the Red Sea across its evolution through the late Cenozoic and present-day as recorded by the shallow-water benthic foraminifer communities in association with coral reefs. Our review reveals a lack of information on shallo-water benthic foraminifers and paleoclimate data across the late Cenozoic evolution of the Red Sea encompassing climate shifts are worth being studied as analogs for modern-day and future climates; suggests a pathway to assess the salinity history of the Red Sea by using foraminiferal assemblage shifts.

(Discover Oceans, 2025)
The Spratly Islands in the South China Sea are renowned for their remarkable reefs and serve as critical habitats for diverse corals and marine life. These reefs also provide livelihood benefits through fisheries and tourism, although their accessibility is limited due to remote location and geopolitical disputes. Despite the combined impacts of rampant and unregulated artificial island construction, along with outbreaks of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (COTS), many reefs in the region remain ecologically significant and warrant conservation efforts. Investigator Shoal, a remote atoll in the Spratlys holds great potential for scientific exploration of its coral communities. This study aimed to assess the ecological status of coral reefs in this atoll by examining the condition, diversity and abundance of corals. Surveys were conducted using the Coral Video Transect (CVT) method at two different depths (10 m and 20 m) across ten reef sites. The data were analysed using the Coral Point Count with Excel extension (CPCe) software. Overall, the reef assemblages showed a mean live coral cover of 46.4% ± 3.4, categorized as ‘Fair’ condition, with all reef sites had relatively high coral diversity. A total of 168 species from 64 genera and 22 families of hard and soft corals were identified. The soft coral Xenia , and the hard corals Acropora and Porites had the highest mean coverage and were abundant in the study area. Additionally, four rare and 19 vulnerable coral species were recorded, highlighting the ecological importance of these reefs despite the apparent impacts of land reclamation and COTS outbreak. The data presented in this study serve as baseline information for future conservation plans in the remote reefs of the Spratly Islands.

Evaluation of effectiveness on-farm biosecurity measure practices to the productivity of Eucheuma denticulatum at Nain Island, Indonesia - Calvyn F. A. Sondak; Robert A. Bara; Fredrick D. Sangkia; Cicilia S. B. Kambey (Discover Oceans, 2025)
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of on-farm biosecurity measures in Eucheuma denticulatum seaweed farm, focusing on risks detection, measurement, and control. After six months of field observation, it was found that the incidence of ice-ice disease (IID) in E. denticulatum was influenced by the presence of epiphyte-biofilm and thallus wounds. The warm seawater temperatures and low salinity were identified as factors contributing to the susceptibility of the cultivated E. denticulatum . A total of 33 kg of macroalgae-epiphytes were found covering the seaweed thallus and ropes at a farm which on-farm biosecurity measure was absent, leading to 20% reduction in farm productivity. Macroalgae-epiphyte Cladophora sp. has become a major epiphytic pest in the Nain Island farm that limited the growth rate up to 62% at the reference farm. Detection measured for on-farm showed that appearance of infected thalli is not always identified with pale or bleached thalli, but wounds and fewer branches of thalli attributed to an unhealthy crop. The efficacy of the on-farm biosecurity concept including removing the epiphytes and the infected crops in seaweed farm was confirmed to improve crop health and support growth performance of an average of 5.33 ± 0.9% d −1 . The on-farm biosecurity measure practices were helped to reduce the effects of diseases by up to 83% in treatment farms. With these results, on-farm biosecurity measures became an adaptive mitigation strategy for dealing with unfavorable environmental factors for tropical eucheumatoid aquaculture.

Discovering and quantifying the eco-physiological advantages of plant-soil-Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) system: a promising eco-math-statistical modelling approach - Mohsen Jahan; Mehdi Nassiri-Mahallati (Discover Ecology, 2025)
“Plant-Soil-Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF)” system dynamics are driven by complex arrays of simultaneous cause-effect relationships. So far, there has been no practical solution based on farm-measured traits to determine plant-fungus co-existence efficacy. Therefore, the objective of this study is to employ mathematical modeling to determine the contribution of AMF in symbiosis with maize using plant and soil-measured variables. Two field experiments as split plots arrangement based on Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications were conducted. Rhizophagus intraradices and Funneliformis mosseae as exogenous AMF inoculated with maize seeds. Analysis of variance were performed on the measured variables on maize, AMF and soil collected from field trials. Confirmatory factor analysis divided the variables into two factors. On the eco-physiological basis, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to explore structural relationships between the two identified factors, were named resource capture and resource utilization. An SEM model was formulated, including the path for cause-effect processes of capture and utilization of resources. Normalized chi-square = 2.33 indicated competency of the model. The direct advantages of AMF symbiosis reflect in R 2 = 0.37 of total variance that can be explained by resource capture and utilization through collaboration. The discovered causal structure provides the possibility of effective agroecological management of maize characteristics, intending to strengthen the plants in order to increase productivity, while reducing inputs, cost and time.

Quantifying the internal and external drivers of Southeast Asian rainfall extremes on decadal timescales - Shawn Wang; Caroline C. Ummenhofer; Sujata A. Murty; Hung T. T. Nguyen; Brendan M. Buckley (Climate Dynamics, 2024)
Rainfall over mainland Southeast Asia experiences variability on seasonal to decadal timescales in response to a multitude of climate phenomena. Historical records and paleoclimate archives that span the last millennium reveal extreme multi-year rainfall variations that significantly affected the societies of mainland Southeast Asia. Here we utilize the Community Earth System Model Last Millennium Ensemble (CESM-LME) to quantify the contributions of internal and external drivers to decadal-scale rainfall extremes in the Southeast Asia region. We find that internal variability was dominant in driving both Southeast Asian drought and pluvial extremes on decadal timescales although external forcing impacts are also detectable. Specifically, rainfall extremes are more sensitive to Pacific Ocean internal variability than the state of the Indian Ocean. This discrepancy is greater for droughts than pluvials which we suggest is attributable to external forcing impacts that counteract the forced Indian Ocean teleconnections to Southeast Asia. Volcanic aerosols, the most effective radiative forcing during the last millennium, contributed to both the Ming Dynasty Drought (1637–1643) and the Strange Parallels Drought (1756–1768). From the Medieval Climate Anomaly to the Little Ice Age, we observe a shift in Indo-Pacific teleconnection strength to Southeast Asia consistent with enhanced volcanism during the latter interval. This work not only highlights asymmetries in the drivers of rainfall extremes but also presents a framework for quantifying multivariate drivers of decadal-scale variability and hydroclimatic extremes.

This is the first report from Indian waters, as the species are so far reported from Oman, Iran and Persian Gulf. These records emphasize the need for research and conservation efforts in the region to explore the diversity and distribution of brachyuran crabs in Indian waters.

Unfolding the interaction of radioactive Cs and Sr with polyethylene-derived microplastics in marine environment - Sonali Yadav; Sabyasachi Rout; Vikram Joshi; Vandana Pulhani; A. V. Kumar (Discover Oceans, 2024)
To unveil the interaction of radioactive Cs and Sr with polyethylene-derived microplastics in the marine environment, a mesocosm study was conducted in a stepwise manner by investigating the uptake capability of microplastics at three different stages: pristine, radiation-exposed, and marine-exposed microplastics. The study demonstrates that the physio-chemical properties of microplastics undergo significant alterations upon exposure to the environment, leading to the emergence of biofilm formation upon marine exposure, while radiation exposure induces surface roughness and cracks. Biofilm growth enhances the uptake of radionuclides by microplastics. However, the growth of biofilms increases the density of microplastics through aggregation, leading to a buoyancy transition from positive to negative buoyancy. Various interaction mechanisms, such as electrostatic, ion–dipole, and physical diffusion interactions, were identified as important mechanisms playing key roles in radionuclide binding to polyethylene-derived microplastics. Despite the significantly lower apparent distribution coefficients observed for radio Cs (in the range of 7.3–23.6 L/kg) and Sr (in the range of 4.3–8.06 L/kg) in the marine system, typically 2–3 orders of magnitude lower than those on marine suspended sediment, this study offers compelling evidence that microplastics in marine environments are capable of sequestering radio Cs and Sr. Consequently, microplastics can potentially accumulate these radionuclides, highlighting their role as potential reservoirs as well as vectors of radionuclides in marine environments.

First report of Mugilogobius rambaiae (Smith, 1945) (Family: Gobiidae) from India along with geographical expansion of two goby fishes from Kerala - C. R. Sreeraj; N. Hussna; Arya Sen; V. P. Limna Mol (Discover Oceans, 2024)
The discovery of three previously undocumented gobioid fish species in Kerala's mangrove ecosystems, namely Eugnathogobius mindora , Mugilogobius mertoni , and Mugilogobius rambaiae , marks a significant advancement in our understanding of the region's aquatic biodiversity. These findings highlight the importance of targeted sampling initiatives and underscore the need for continued exploration and conservation efforts to protect Kerala's fragile mangrove habitats. The adaptability of gobioid fish species from the genera Eugnathogobius and Mugilogobius to fluctuating salinity levels makes them particularly well-suited to thrive in the dynamic environments of shallow intertidal and subtidal estuaries, as well as mangrove ecosystems. Their presence is crucial in maintaining the ecological balance of coastal habitats in the Indo-Pacific region, including Kerala. The discovery of these gobioid fish species not only enhances the ecological richness of Kerala but also offers a significant understanding of the intricate relationships between these fish and their habitats. By enhancing the understanding of the range of gobioid fish species found in the mangroves of Kerala, more effective conservation and management approaches to safeguard these vital coastal ecosystems can be developed. Continuing study and conservation efforts are crucial for the preservation of Kerala’s mangrove ecosystems and the species diversity. By comprehending the enigmas of gobioid fish diversity and other fundamental facets of mangrove ecosystems, substantial advancements can be made in guaranteeing enduring sustainability for future generations.

Understanding and incorporating stakeholders' perceptions is fundamental to effectively managing marine protected areas (MPAs). Islas Marietas National Park (IMNP), an ecologically important coral reef ecosystem in the Central Mexican Pacific (CMP), has experienced major fluctuations in tourism pressures, environmental health, and regulatory changes in the past decade, which has led to efforts in its monitoring and restoration; however, limited research has been conducted to understand stakeholders’ perceptions of the social-ecological system. The present study integrates ecological attributes of the park, primarily changes in live coral cover (LCC), and stakeholders’ perceptions of the coral reef ecosystem to determine how users and tourism operators perceive the ecological changes in the area. It employs a mixed-methods approach, including ecological markers such as changes in live coral cover from 2012 to 2022 and recent surveys collected from tourism stakeholders. The results show that while live coral cover increased from 12.11 ± 6.21% in 2012 to 25.29 ± 15.00%, tourists and tourism operators perceive a decrease and degradation of the natural environment. In addition, tourists perceive a major ecological decline than tourism operators, and this perception is not correlated with their age range. Perceptions of environmental health do not align with the health status assessed by ecological monitoring, and the lack of awareness of ecological recovery at IMNP may hinder management efforts’ continued and expanded success. Therefore, developing more effective communication initiatives, citizen involvement, and education is important for conserving and managing coral communities in the park.

Heavy metal and mineral analysis of cultivated seaweeds from Cox’s Bazar Coast, Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh: a human health risk implication - Md. Simul Bhuyan; Mrityunjoy Kunda; Muhammad Abu Bakar; Venkatramanan Senapathi; Sk. Abid Husain; Enam Chowdhury; Mir Mohammad Ali; Debasish Pandit (Discover Oceans, 2024)
Seaweeds are grown for their use in food and other sectors, however heavy metals (HMs) contamination raises serious issues for the environment and public health. This study focuses on seaweed samples ( Hypnea musciformes and Gracilaria lemaneiformis ) collected from the Rezu Khal seaweed culture site, Cox’s Bazar coast, Bangladesh. HMs and minerals were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Among the elements examined, H. musciformes displayed the highest mean concentrations of minerals and HMs, including Magnesium (Mg) (8663.00 ± 2302.06 mg/kg), Copper (Cu) (10.59 ± 1.61 mg/kg), Iron (Fe) (7566.29 ± 2842.47 mg/kg), Manganese (Mn) (9.93 ± 2.88 mg/kg), Zinc (Zn) (29.54 ± 7.51 mg/kg), and Nickel (Ni) (11.77 ± 2.63 mg/kg). Conversely, G. lemaneiformis exhibited the highest levels of Calcium (Ca) (798.14 ± 143.40 mg/kg), Lead (Pb) (3.91 ± 1.74 mg/kg), and Chromium (Cr) (0.59 ± 0.30 mg/kg). Specifically, Mg was prominently abundant in H. musciformes , while Cawas more prevalent in G. lemaneiformis . Both seaweed types contained Pb and Cr. None of the elements was significantly different between the species (p < 0.05). The consumers are not exposed to any carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic risks related to these concentrations, according to the evaluation of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks.

Assessing the ecological impact of beach tourism on crustacean abundance: a case study from West Coast of India - Meghana Teerthala; Vardhan Jayant Patankar; Murali Krishna Chatakonda (Discover Oceans, 2024)
Sandy beaches are vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic disturbances like coastal hydrological disasters, coastal erosion, sea-level rise, pollution, and land degradation. Apart from these, at the habitat level, tourism and recreation activities impact the sandy beach ecosystem in countless ways. Several studies indicate that trampling caused due to human visitation negatively impacts the macrobenthic communities. In this study, along with the trampling effect, we assessed the impact of human visitation on the sandy beach ecosystem using factors like littering and human-induced predation pressure. The study was conducted on three sandy beaches in the Udupi district of Indian coastal state, Karnataka. We used human presence, predation pressure, and total litter as response variables; against sand crabs and ghost crabs as indicator species. The results indicated a significant correlation between response variables. Sand crabs were less affected by the human presence (r = 0.07, p = 0.14); however, ghost crab abundance was negatively influenced by human presence (r = − 0.36, p < 0.05), predation pressure (r = − 0.28, p < 0.05), and by litter presence (r = − 0.28, p < 0.05) at the beaches. We observed that human presence impacts sand crabs and ghost crabs directly (trampling) and indirectly (attracting human commensal predators through beach litter). We highlight the impacts of tourism on often neglected crab assemblages and emphasise the importance of deriving appropriate conservation measures for sandy beach ecosystems.

Gujarat’s plastic plight: unveiling characterization, abundance, and pollution index of beachside plastic pollution - KetanKumar Yogi; Vasantkumar Rabari; Krupal Patel; Heris Patel; Jigneshkumar Trivedi; Md. Refat Jahan Rakib; Rakesh Kumar; Ram Proshad; Tony R. Walker (Discover Oceans, 2024)
Plastic pollution poses a pervasive threat to ecosystems worldwide, jeopardizing marine life, contaminating water sources, and perpetuating a global environmental crisis. Spatial and temporal distribution of beach debris was quantitatively assessed on three recreational beaches in Gujarat State, India. A total of six debris categories were recorded with a mean of 0.9 items/m 2 in number and 3.62 g/m 2 in weight. A total of Mean debris concentrations and weight per debris item did not vary significantly between study sites. Highest debris concentrations were observed in October 2021 at all sites. Around 90% was macro-debris (2.5–100 cm), with white and transparent colours most frequently encountered. Based on Clean Coast Index findings, all sites were categorized as " dirty ". Plastic Abundance Index revealed that all sites had a very high abundance of plastics compared to other beach debris. Recreational activities on beaches, tourism, and extensive fishing can be the possible source of marine debris on Gujarat State. The findings of the current investigation is vital to understanding its pervasive environmental impact, encompassing threats to biodiversity, water quality, and ecosystems, while guiding effective policies to mitigate these repercussions on a global scale. It can be helpful to establish mitigation strategies urgently required to reduce marine debris pollution along the Gujarat Coast. It is recomanded to implement urgently needed mitigation strategies to diminish marine debris pollution along the Gujarat Coast.

Assessing the nitrate and phosphate uptake kinetics potential and growth performance of Gracilaria corticata var. cylindrica in shrimp farm water (SFW) - Om Sawant; Santlal Jaiswar (Discover Oceans, 2024)
Gracilaria corticata var. cylindrica (GCC) was studied as a biofilter in shrimp farm water (SFW) and its growth and biochemical attributes in the medium were evaluated. GCC showed significant nutrient absorption from SFW, with maximum nitrate and phosphate uptake observed after the first 48 h. Nitrate depletion happened faster than phosphate, thus showing a higher affinity for nitrate uptake (78.4% removal) by GCC. Nutrient uptake kinetics followed the Michaelis–Menten curve, with V max values of 43.16 μM g dw −1 h −1 for nitrate and 67.50 μM g dw −1 h −1 for phosphate. Also, GCC’s low K m values (12.53 µM for nitrate, 1.91 µM for phosphate) indicated efficient nutrient utilization. GCC showed rapid growth in SFW, with a daily growth rate of 2.93 ± 0.19% d −1 , comparable to the commercial MP1 media (3.54 ± 0.19% d −1 ) and greater to seawater (2.23 ± 0.13% d −1 ). Proximate analysis revealed consistent biochemical compositions across all three media, with carbohydrate and protein contents of 2.24 ± 0.41% and 0.76 ± 0.12%, respectively, in SFW. Pigment analysis revealed that pigment concentrations varied, with SFW having the greatest R-PE concentration (182.25 ± 32.77 µg g −1 ), followed by MP1 media and saltwater. R-PC concentrations followed a similar pattern, with SFW having the greatest concentration (85.73 ± 19.33 µg g −1 ). These findings highlight GCC’s potential as an efficient biofilter for reducing nitrate and phosphate levels in SFW, therefore offering a sustainable solution for aquaculture effluent management and the potential integration of GCC into shrimp farming practices.

Modelled salinity values and episodes of critical salinities over 63 years in an estuary with bivalves of commercial interest - J. M. Parada; M. Fernández Besada; B. Méndez Pérez (Discover Oceans, 2024)
Objectives This dataset is the result of a numerical model that estimates salinity in an estuary of high interest to commercial bivalve fisheries. The estuary is subject to periodic low salinity events that cause high mortalities and economic losses. Although the estuary has a salinity monitoring system, its sensors hang from a floating platform, so the data collected are not measured close to the bottom and their position relative to the bottom varies with the tide. Therefore, their values are not representative of the salinity stress to which the bivalves are subjected. For this reason, a model was developed to estimate salinity at 1 m above the bottom and at high tide. These conditions have been defined as those necessary to detect episodes of low salinities that can generate bivalve mortality events. Data description The dataset includes the estimated daily salinity in the estuary from 7 January 1961 to 31 December 2023. In addition, for each of the 63 years of the series, another dataset is included containing the number of critical salinity episodes, as a function of salinity thresholds and their duration, that could have caused mortality events of different intensity of bivalves of commercial interest.

Variability in microplastic color preference and intake among selected marine and freshwater fish and crustaceans - Yoshifumi Horie; Kensuke Mitsunaga; Kazuyo Yamaji; Soichi Hirokawa; Dorcas Uaciquete; Juan Manuel Ríos; Chee Kong Yap; Hideo Okamura (Discover Oceans, 2024)
Plastic pollution is considered a pervasive global environmental challenge. Colored microplastics are prevalent in aquatic environments and the gastrointestinal tracts of wild-captured fish and crustaceans. Fish are thought to employ color vision to detect microplastics, prompting our investigation into microplastic ingestion patterns in three marine fish species, Chrysiptera cyanea , Hypoatherina tsurugae, and Plotosus japonicus , and three freshwater fish species, Rhodeus ocellatus , Pseudorasbora parva , and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus . Microplastics in red, blue, yellow, green, and gray were introduced to these species, and their ingestion was observed over a 4 h period under light conditions. Additionally, as crustaceans play an important role in connecting producers (phytoplankton) and consumers (fish) in natural ecosystems, we assessed a freshwater crustacean, Neocaridina denticulata . The crustacean did not ingest microplastics, and only 14% of P. parva individuals ingested microplastics (a proportion lower than that observed in the other fish species). Notably, C. cyanea , P. japonicus , and R. ocellatus exhibited color preferences in microplastic ingestion, with C. cyanea favoring red, P. japonicus preferring blue and gray, and R. ocellatus favoring red and yellow. Conversely, H. tsurugae , P. parva, and M. anguillicaudatus did not exhibit such color preferences . These findings suggest that certain fish use color vision to recognize and selectively ingest microplastics, with color preference being species-specific. Overall, this study provides new insights into microplastic ingestion by fish, potentially informing future toxicological assessments of microplastics in marine and freshwater fish and crustaceans intendan consumption.

Nature and impact of extremely severe cyclone Tauktae over India - Vijay K. Kannaujiya; Abhishek K. Rai; Sukanta Malakar (Discover Oceans, 2024)
Cyclone Tauktae, an extremely severe cyclonic storm, occurred in the Arabian Sea from May 14 to May 19, 2021, which affected a large spectrum of human lives in many regions of the Indian subcontinent. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the Spatio-temporal progress of this storm along with its environmental characteristics. We observed that Takutae formed in the Arabian Sea due to an anomalous sea surface warming. Integrated buoy and satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) showed a gradual increase in SST (30–32 °C) from May 1 to May 14, 2021 in the Arabian Sea, indicating the potential formation of a low-pressure area. As the cyclone progressed and formed a cyclonic storm on May 15, the SST, water vapor, and surface latent heat flux showed very high values. Furthermore, the parameters mentioned above show very high values during severe cyclonic storms (May 16) and severe cyclonic storms (May 17), indicating favorable environmental conditions for the intensification. The favorable condition and intensification of cyclone Takutae is also confirmed by the genesis potential parameter, which shows high values at the depression stage (May 14) and very severe cyclonic storm (May 17), about greater than 30. As a result of storms, high precipitation is observed in different regions of India, for example, 250–300 mm/day precipitation in Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Gujarat. In addition, during the landfall process on May 17 near the Gujarat coasts, very high winds (120–150 km/h), along with precipitation, were observed, which caused a large number of casualties and damage.

Holocene peopling and sea-level changes along the northern coast of the Arabian Sea (Pakistan) - Paolo Biagi (Discover Oceans, 2024)
Surveys carried out in the provinces of Las Bela and Lower Sindh (Pakistan) have led to the discovery of many concentrations of knapped stone artefacts associated with mangrove and sea shells. The most important group of sites has been discovered along the shores of Lake Siranda (Balochistan) and on the limestone terraces that rise from the Indus Plain in Lower Sindh. The radiocarbon dates obtained from the Lake Siranda sites have shown that the ancient lagoon was seasonally settled between the last two centuries of the 8th and the end of the 5th millennium uncal BP that is from the beginning of the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. Although more research is needed, we now know the important role played by the coastal zones of Las Bela and Lower Sindh in the Holocene archaeology of the Arabian Sea, the only region of the northern coastline that has provided evidence of Neolithic and Chalcolithic settlement. The Neolithic knapped stones discovered during the surveys consist of bladelet artefacts and geometric microliths made from local cherts, while the Chalcolithic Amri Culture implements are obtained from exotic flint. Since the beginning of the Holocene the coastal zone has been affected by dramatic events among which are sea-level rise, tectonic activity, subsidence, and the advance of the Indus Delta. The present landscape shaped around the end of the Bronze Age, when arid conditions established and the Indus Civilisation declined. Unfortunately many of the coastal sites are in danger or have been destroyed by industrial development.

Three new records of Keratosa sponges (Demospongiae: Porifera) from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India - Preeti Antonetta Pereira; Chelladurai Raghunathan (Discover Oceans, 2024)
Keratose sponges (Keratosa Grant, 1861) of India have not been studied much in detail. The present investigation is part of exploratory sponge taxonomy studies conducted at several localities in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands during 2015–2018. Three keratose sponges distributed among three different families are reported herein for the first time from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands: Dysidea granulosa Bergquist, 1965 (Dysideidae Gray, 1867); Dictyodendrilla cavernosa (Lendenfeld, 1888) (Dictyodendrillidae Bergquist, 1980), Phyllospongia papyracea (Esper, 1806) (Thorectidae Bergquist, 1978). Among these, D. cavernosa is a new record to India. Taxonomic descriptions of all the three species are provided and their distribution within the Andaman and Nicobar Islands vis-à-vis Indo-Pacific is discussed.

Correlating real-world incidents with vessel traffic off the coast of Hawaii, 2017–2020 - Amelia Henriksen (Discover Oceans, 2024)
Objectives Because of the high-risk nature of emergencies and illegal activities at sea, it is critical that algorithms designed to detect anomalies from maritime traffic data be robust. However, there exist no publicly available maritime traffic data sets with real-world expert-labeled anomalies. As a result, most anomaly detection algorithms for maritime traffic are validated without ground truth. Data description We introduce the HawaiiCoast_GT data set, the first ever publicly available automatic identification system (AIS) data set with a large corresponding set of true anomalous incidents. This data set—cleaned and curated from raw Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) automatic identification system (AIS) data—covers Hawaii’s coastal waters for four years (2017–2020) and contains 88,749,176 AIS points for a total of 2622 unique vessels. This includes 208 labeled tracks corresponding to 154 rigorously documented real-world incidents.
