Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous contaminants in the marine environment. The potential pathway through the food web to humans is a general public concern. Commonly consumed marine organisms have never been studied for the presence of MPs as an entry route into the food chain. This study selected Penaeus monodon (tiger prawn) and Metapenaeus ensis (greasyback shrimp) because of their commercial importance, high consumption ra...

Current practice to model the occurrence of submarine landslides is based on methods that assess the potential of site-specific failures, all with the objective of providing elements to identify and quantify regional features associated to geohazards, before a project development takes place. Also, survey data to estimate parameters required to model submarine landslides show typically limited availability, mainly because of t...

Seagrasses offer diverse ecosystem services, yet, they are among the most threatened ecosystems. When degraded or destroyed, their services are lost or reduced in the process, affecting, for instance, local communities directly dependent on their livelihood provision. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported that climate change is projected to worsen over time; thus, there is an urgent need for mitigation...
