New Waves in Marine Conservation

Heatwaves are no longer episodic extremes but are increasingly becoming a structural feature of India’s climate landscape. Globally, nearly half a million people die each year from heat-related causes...
The conceptualization of the blue economy is rapidly evolving from a niche sub-sector to a central aspect of economic and ecological discourse. In this conversation, Pradeep Chauhan, Director General...
India’s maritime domain holds immense potential for driving sustainable economic growth, technological innovation, and community resilience. However, challenges such as limited infrastructure, environ...
Oceanic ecosystems remain to be least known and least discovered ecosystems. Marine strandings are often the primary source of information on myriad marine species and the threats that they face. In I...

<p>Due to intense storms and the appearance of polynya (open water within the sea ice), the summer sea ice in the Weddell Sea sector of Antarctica has decreased by roughly one million square kilometre...
<p>Litter generated from disposable single-use masks and latex gloves is among the many downsides of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These discarded personal medical clothing items are now seen strewn...
Oceanic ecosystems remain to be least known and least discovered ecosystems. Marine strandings are often the primary source of information on myriad marine species and the threats that they face. In India, marine stranding networks are still being developed. The paper discusses a unique and robust model of a marine stranding network for the coastal state of Goa that involves public-private partner...
<p>Desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria is a type of grasshopper that exhibits density-dependent polyphensim. The gregarious phase occurs when huge swarms of winged adult locusts embark on spectacular mass travel, during which they are voracious and destructive, leading to famines and threats to food security. Life cycle events of locust include egg, hopper, and adult stages which are highly influ...
<p>Due to intense storms and the appearance of polynya (open water within the sea ice), the summer sea ice in the Weddell Sea sector of Antarctica has decreased by roughly one million square kilometres. Scientists point out that this will adversely impact the Antarctic ecosystem.</p>
