Effects of feeding European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) juveniles with crude, hydrolysed and fermented biomass of the invasive macroalga Rugulopteryx okamurae (Ochrophyta) by A.J. Vizcaíno, M.I. Sáez, A. Galafat, R. Galindo-Melero, E. Perera, I. Casal-Porras, E. Zubía, J. Vega, F.L. Figueroa, T.F. Martínez, J.A. Martos-Sitcha, F.J. Alarcón

“…Among the different actions, the biotechnological valorisation could be a strategy for the management of alien biomass within the frame of the Blue Economy. This work evaluates the potential of R. okamurae biomass, either raw or processed by biotechnological treatments based on enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation processes, to be used as a dietary ingredient in juvenile seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). …”

Embracing Nature-based Solutions to promote resilient marine and coastal ecosystems by Bethan C. O'Leary, Catarina Fonseca, Cindy C. Cornet, Mindert B. de Vries, A.Karima Degia, Pierre Failler, Elisa Furlan, Joaquim Garrabou, Artur Gil, Julie P. Hawkins, Dorte Krause-Jensen, Xavier Le Roux, Myron A. Peck, Géraldine Pérez, Ana M. Queirós, Grzegorz Różyński, Agustín Sanchez-Arcilla, Rémy Simide, Isabel Sousa Pinto, Ewan Trégarot, Callum M. Roberts

“…In marine and coastal spaces, NBS can contribute to improved environmental health, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and a more sustainable blue economy, if implemented to a high standard. However, NBS have been largely studied for terrestrial – particularly urban – systems, with limited uptake thus far in marine and coastal areas, despite an abundance of opportunities. …”

Eco-creative nature-based solutions to transform urban coastlines, local coastal communities and enhance biodiversity through the lens of scientific and Indigenous knowledge by Francesca Porri, Boudina McConnachie, Kerry-Ann van der Walt, Rachel Wynberg, Paula Pattrick

“…Increasing anthropogenic pressure on the sea and alteration of coastscapes challenge the functioning of marine ecosystems and long-term reliance on blue economies, especially for developing southern economies. …”
