The Red Sea crisis (RSC) is an ongoing military conflict affecting maritime trade. Based on automatic identification system data, this study analyzed the changes in vessel behavior in the Red Sea using the seasonal decomposition method. The number and speed of vessels decreased significantly after the RSC, and many vessels chose to sail away from the Red Sea rather than anchor at its shores. Additionally, the impact of the RSC on maritime shipping networks was analyzed based on metrics in complex networks. Although shipping network structures were changed by the RSC, they still exhibited resilience. Finally, this study analyzed the RSC future impacts on maritime shipping networks based on node attacks and the Markov method. Because of their resilience, only ports in the top 20 % needed to be considered. This study provides valuable insights for maritime transportation authorities to formulate port strategies and route layouts in response to the RSC.

Burkholderia pseudomallei, a soil-borne bacterium that causes melioidosis, endemic in South and Southeast Asia and northern Australia, is now emerging in new regions. Since the 1990s, cases have been reported in French overseas departments, including Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean, and Reunion Island and Mayotte in the Indian Ocean, suggesting a local presence of the bacterium. Our phylogenetic analysis of 111 B.

Following a recent dramatic increase in illegal fishing by Indonesian fishing vessels in Australian waters in 2022, we conducted an extensive survey of coral reef communities covering 33,000 m at Mermaid Reef Marine Park in the Rowley Shoals off north-western Australia in July 2022. Species richness of sea cucumbers was 13 species (three CITES listed) and 6 species of giant clams (all CITES listed). The most abundant sea cucumber species were the low or intermediate value, asexually reproducing species Holothuria atra and H.

Anthropogenic pressures affect large stretches of Mediterranean coastal environments, determining alterations, including chemical pollution, able to impair ecosystem functioning and services. Among the pollutants of major concern for their toxicity and persistence, there are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can be effectively monitored through bioaccumulation approaches. However, the main biomonitor of PAHs in the Mediterranean Sea, Posidonia oceanica, is currently undergoing extensive regressions due to anthropogenic pressures, forcing the search for alternative biomonitors.
