Galician Shellfish Production Collapses Amidst Pollution and Climate Change
Galicia's shellfish production plummeted in 2024, with mussel yields at their lowest (178,000 tons) in years due to heavy rainfall reducing salinity, pollution exceeding legal limits by 10%, and the looming threat of new industrial projects.

Unprecedented Jellyfish Bloom in Tasmania Signals Ocean Imbalance
An unprecedented bloom of moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) in Tasmania's Storm Bay and along the east coast, following blooms of salps and bioluminescent algae, is disrupting the marine ecosystem by consuming phytoplankton and the eggs and larvae of other species, indicating a significant ecological ...

Baltic Sea Suffers from Oxygen Depletion Despite Nutrient Reduction Efforts
A Geomar Helmholtz Centre study reveals that rising water temperatures in the Baltic Sea are preventing ecosystem recovery, despite reduced nutrient inflow, due to increased bacterial activity consuming oxygen and releasing bound nutrients, creating a negative feedback loop.
