Marine mammals, seabirds, sharks, rays, and benthic invertebrates are the species most at risk from the impact of this technology.

This is the main conclusion of a study conducted by the ICM-CSIC and IQF-CSIC, which has quantified for the first time the global emission of a sulphur gas produced by marine life and its contribution to forming particles and clouds in the atmosphere.

The document, prepared by the ICM-CSIC in collaboration with the IEO-CSIC, is part of the ‘Science for Public Policy’ collection, which aims to contribute to developing policies based on scientific evidence.

These are the major findings of BioMARató, a citizen science event coordinated by ICM-CSIC that mobilized over 480 volunteers to survey the biodiversity of the Catalan coast over six months.
 

This is the main conclusion of a new study led by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC), which reveals a surprising behaviour among small-spotted catsharks as plastic pollution rises and habitat-forming species decline.

Details are outlined in a study by the ICM-CSIC that analyses more than 50,000 images obtained by recreational divers and shared on social media, revealing the Argonauts' behavior in their natural environment.
