The study, co-led by the ICM-CSIC, the CIIMAR and the UB, highlights the lack of resilience of this emblematic Mediterranean species in the face of increasingly frequent and intense events.

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.
