This webinar will discuss the importance of forage fisheries and the need for better management practices. These improvements ...

Aquatic ecosystems are also undergoing rapid changes. The study found that fire debris transforms lakes and other aquatic ecosystems, with implications for fisheries and water quality.

The volumes of aquatic ecosystems affected by oxygen depletion have increased dramatically across all types. "Aquatic deoxygenation is closely linked to changes in climate and land use," said Rose.

Lars-Anders Hansson, Professor, Aquatic Ecology, Lund University The study was conducted in artificial wetlands designed to closely mimic natural ecosystems, suggesting that the findings could be ...

A new study uncovers aquatic deoxygenation as Earth's 10th tipping point, threatening ecosystems and humanity's future. Can we still save the planet?

Freshwater ecosystems in Canada, and around the world, are more fragile than they look and vulnerable to invasive species. Canada’s lakes and rivers require constant vigilance to protect from ...

What happens to marine life during a hurricane? Hurricanes can be incredibly damaging to aquatic ecosystems. As a storm "grows larger and more potent, it can generate waves as high as 18.3 meters ...

The nearshore zone, and associated benthic zone, is a uniquely sensitive part of the lake ecosystem, sitting at the interface between terrestrial and aquatic landscapes. Anything coming off the ...

ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Protecting aquatic ecosystems is a top priority for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GDNR). A major threat to these ecosystems is invasive species.

Consequently, rates of invasion for freshwater ecosystems are among the highest of any habitat type and continue to increase. Highly vulnerable ecosystems. Lakes, rivers and wetlands make up about one ...
