2Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), Oban, United Kingdom This study compares the noise levels at the cold-water coral Tisler reef, before and after the closure of the border between Norway and Sweden, which occurred as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tisler reef is a marine protected area located under a ferry “highway” that connects Norway and Sweden. Cold-water coral reefs are recognised as being important hotspots of both biodiversity and biomass, they function as breeding and nursing grounds for commercially important fish and are essential in providing ecosystem functions. Whilst studies have shown that fishery, ocean warming, and acidification threaten them, the effects of noise pollution on cold-water coral reefs remains unstudied. To study the severity of noise pollution at the Tisler reef, a long-term acoustic recorder was deployed from 29 January 2020 until 26 May 2020. From 15 March COVID-19 lockdown measures stopped passenger vessel t ....
Print A year after piloting a remote vehicle into the depths of the Pacific Ocean off Southern California, researchers for the marine nonprofit Oceana revealed the submerged treasures they found there and the promise they hold for restoring fisheries in some areas and protecting them in others. The five-day expedition explored habitat in and around the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, gathering data to support Oceana’s bid to place a large swath of undersea habitat off limits to bottom trawling. That fishing method uses large nets dragged along the sea floor to catch fish. In the process, however, it can also pull up corals and other organisms. ....
Tue, 2020-12-29 12:00 2020 has been a tumultuous year for all of us, including for Oceana. I am pleased to report that it has also been a successful year of ocean conservation policymaking. Since March, our staff around the world have been campaigning from home. Despite this, together with our allies, we have won important policy changes that promote responsible fishing, protect habitat, increase transparency, and curb pollution. You will be encouraged by this brief annual overview. Ending Destructive Gillnet Fishing in Belize and California The Belize Government protected its waters from gillnets, a dangerous gear that indiscriminately catches and kills nearly everything it entangles, including manatees and turtles. Our essential allies in this battle were many local fishers who understood up close how destructive and wasteful gillnets are. The few remaining gillnets fishers’ will be assisted in transitioning away from the gear and finding alternative livelihood ....
