TL;DR: The seaweed aquaculture can also contribute to climate change adaptation by damping wave energy and protecting shorelines, and by elevating pH and supplying oxygen to the waters, thereby locally reducing the effects of ocean acidification and deoxygenation as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: China is facing intense coastal eutrophication, and large-scale seaweed aquaculture in China is popular, now accounting for over 2/3’s of global production, and it is projected this industry will remove 100% of the current phosphorus inputs to Chinese coastal waters by 2026.

TL;DR: High anthropogenic pollution and poor beach management may contribute to higher concentrations of microplastics in Li'an bay and Xincun bay.

TL;DR: A novel single-parameter approach combining wavelet analysis with artificial neural networks (WNN) was developed and verified based on daily online monitoring datasets of algal density in the Siling Reservoir, China and Lake Winnebago, U.S.A, demonstrating its high performance in forecasting algal blooms, including cyanobacteria as well as other blooming species.

TL;DR: As copper concentrations increased, it was found that the esterase activity decreased in a concentration-dependent manner with increased membrane fragments, which was a good indicator of copper toxicity in M. aeruginosa.
