Six new research projects that aim to build a sustainable future for the marine environment and those whose livelihoods depend on it were announced today.
Researchers have received a share of £9.2 million from UK Research and Innovation to investigate how to safeguard the marine and coastal economy while protecting sea ecosystems.
The marine economy is worth £48 billion, but coastal communities are facing increased pressures from climate change, threats to marine wildlife, and economic challenges.
One team of multi-disciplinary researchers will investigate how and where meadows of seagrass can be restored in UK coastal waters. Seagrass is important in supporting marine wildlife, capturing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, and improving the productivity of fisheries. However, many seagrass meadows have been destroyed in recent years, caused by disease, disturbance, and pollution.
This New Database of Over 350,000 Proteins Will Change The Research of Life Itself

Scientists on Thursday unveiled the most exhaustive database yet of the proteins that form the building blocks of life, in a breakthrough observers said would fundamentally change biological research .
Every cell in every living organism is triggered to perform its function by proteins that deliver constant instructions to maintain health and ward off infection.
Unlike the genome – the complete sequence of human genes that encode cellular life – the human proteome is constantly changing in response to genetic instructions and environmental stimuli.
Understanding how proteins operate – the shape in which they end up, or fold into – within cells has fascinated scientists for decades.

Los efectos de las drogas en la vida silvestre, aunque estudiados, aún no han sido plenamente comprendidos.
Cerca de 269 millones de personas consumen drogas cada año. Pero se suele olvidar en esta historia un problema básico de la biología: lo que entra tiene que salir. Las alcantarillas están inundadas con drogas que son expulsadas por los humanos, junto con los componentes químicos que generan efectos similares en la vida silvestre.
