Mediterranean Sharks Face Extinction Risk Due to Slow Recovery Rates
A new study reveals that many Mediterranean shark and ray populations have a low rebound potential, taking over 40 years to double their numbers due to low reproductive rates and intense fishing pressure, threatening the biodiversity of the Mediterranean sea.

Higher Nanoplastic Levels Found in Upper Layers of North Atlantic
A study in Nature found higher nanoplastic concentrations in the upper North Atlantic Ocean layers compared to deeper waters, particularly near coasts; surprisingly, common plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene were absent, while PET, PS, and PVC were present.
