Green ports & maritime infrastructure Green Ports Are No Longer Just About Shore Power A modern green port strategy still needs shore power, but it also needs grid planning, vessel charging, joined-up data, cleaner dredging, climate resilience, waste reduction and space for nature. The
Marine Ecology Digest Marine Ecology Digest: May 2026 May’s strongest marine ecology stories were about governance rather than spectacle: island states pushing for joined-up ocean planning, Coral Triangle partners testing protected area quality, and fisheries discussions moving into the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction era. A monthly digest for ocean professionals
There are places where the sea feels less like a boundary and more like a veil. Off the southern edge of Japan, near the island of Yonaguni, the water holds one such secret. Divers speak of it in measured tones. Scientists argue over it in careful language. And those who have seen it often struggle […]
Marine Ecology Digest Marine Ecology Digest: April 2026 April brought a useful correction to the ocean conversation. Protected area coverage passed 10%, but the harder test is whether those places are managed well enough to protect reefs, fish, seabirds, seagrass, mangroves and coastal livelihoods. For marine scientists, conservation teams, coastal planners and ocean
February has been a month of quiet but meaningful shifts across marine ecology. Rather than a single defining headline, the past few weeks have revealed a pattern: incremental change, often fragile, occasionally encouraging, and always shaped by the tension between economic pressure and environmental necessity. Below is a grounded overview of the most relevant developments
