TL;DR: The study showed that sandy substrate was the preferred habitat for H. scabra, accommodating the largest number of individuals, and there was a positive relationship between fecundity and size.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of current conservation tools, comparing their application in different areas to assess their effectiveness, potential for synergies, and contradictions is presented, and recommendations are given to overcome the fragmented approach still characterizing the conservation and management of coastal marine environments.
Abstract: As a response to increasing human pressures on marine ecosystems, the legislation aimed at improving the conservation and management of marine coastal areas in European and Contiguous Seas (ECS) underwent crucial advances. ECS, however, still remain largely affected by increasing threats leading to biodiversity loss. Here, by using emblematic case studies and expert knowledge, we review current conservation tools, comparing their application in different areas to assess their effectiveness, potential for synergies, and contradictions. Despite regional differences in their application, the existing legislative frameworks have the potential to regulate human activities and to protect marine biodiversity. However, four challenges remain to be addressed to fully achieve environmental policy goals: 1) Lack of shared vision representing a limitation in transboundary collaboration. Although all EU countries are committed to fulfil EU Directives and other binding international legislative acts, a remarkable heterogeneity exists among countries in the compliance with the common legislation on conservation and in their degree of implementation. 2) Lack of systematic procedures for the selection of protected marine sites. Regional and national approaches in designating Natura 2000 sites and nationally designated Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) reflect varying conservation targets and importance of conservation issues in political agendas. 3) Lack of coherent ecological networks. Natura 2000 sites and other MPAs are still far from reaching the status of effective networks in all considered case studies. 4) Hotspot of conflicts with private economic interests prevailing over conservation aims. Recommendations are given to overcome the fragmented approach still characterizing the conservation and management of coastal marine environments. Holistic, integrated, ecosystem-based, cross-cutting approaches can avoid conflicts among institutions so as to provide effective and timely solutions to current and future challenges concerning the conservation and management of marine ecosystems and associated goods and services.

TL;DR: In this paper, a large increase in the total carbon dioxide (TCO2) content is observed in deep waters of the northern Indian Ocean between approximately 10 and 20°N; contributions from soft tissue decomposition and skeletal solution to the observed increase are about the same.

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of Antarctic bottom water appears to be influenced and controlled by nonlinearities in the dependence of density of sea water on temperature and salinity, and properties of the bottom water are determined primarily by the temperatures and saliency of the warm deep water.

01 Jul 1988TL;DR: In this article, the authors used monthly mean winds and currents to identify the driving mechanisms of seasonal coastal circulation in the North Indian Ocean and found that the surface circulation off Arabia is typical of a wind-driven system with similar patterns of longshore current and wind stress.
Abstract: Monthly-mean winds and currents have been used to identify the driving mechanisms of seasonal coastal circulation in the North Indian Ocean. The main conclusions are: (i) the surface circulation off Arabia is typical of a wind-driven system with similar patterns of longshore current and wind stress; (ii) circulation off the west coast of India is consistent with the dynamics of a wind-driven eastern boundary current only during the southwest monsoon. During the northeast monsoon it is possible that the influence of the interior flow is important. (iii) There are at least three mechanisms that influence the surface circulation off the east coast of India: wind-stress, influence of fresh-water run off and contribution of the interior flow. It is difficult at present to assess the relative importance of these three processes.
