TL;DR: This review examines the substantial changes that have taken place in marine habitats and resources of the Gulf over the past decade, finding that the prognosis for the Gulf continuing to provide abundant natural resources is poor.

TL;DR: In this article, the central Indian Ocean reefs of Chagos were studied to 30 m depth, where coral bioerosion is substantial, reducing 3-D reef structure and forming unconsolidated rubble.

TL;DR: The most eastern point of the Arabian Peninsula, Ras Al Hadd, marks the boundary between the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman, and this geographic landmark coincides with an abrupt floristic turnover, one of the sharpest biotic transitions known in marine biogeography.

TL;DR: The Gulf of Mexico has a shifting baseline syndrome and it is difficult to find any meaningful baselines, not only because of ongoing, intensive constructions that cause large-scale alterations of the environment but also because of several recent episodes of marine mortality from seawater warming as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a triangular array of hydrophones 1 m apart is capable of detecting blast events whilst effectively rejecting other sources of underwater noise such as snapping shrimp and nearby boat propellers.
