New research from MIT scientists provides quantitative evidence for the first time that island rivers shape vital passages in coral reefs. By analyzing data for the Society Islands, such as Tahiti and Bora Bora, it was discovered how rivers, through mechanisms of incision and aggradation, create channels crucial for the health and survival of these marine ecosystems
At the very beginning of the summer, a traditional eco-action of cleaning the seabed was held in Bakar, which brought together a record number of 250 participants, including 90 divers from Croatia and neighboring countries. As part of Margaret's summer, over 10 cubic meters of waste were extracted, confirming Copper's commitment to ecological revitalization.
Scientists from the Ruđer Bošković Institute are leading the fight for the health of the Adriatic. From developing systems to predict meteorological tsunamis and testing methods to combat climate change to restoring destroyed habitats and stopping invasive species, their work is crucial for the future of our sea and the safety of the coast
The latest research reveals how biofilm, a sticky layer created by microorganisms, unexpectedly reduces microplastic deposition. Learn why bare sand beds of rivers and seas have been identified as potential pollution hotspots and how this discovery directs future efforts to protect aquatic ecosystems.
On the occasion of World Environment Day, scientists of the Ruđer Bošković Institute present key research on microplastics. With the QPlast and PlastOrgAnoTox projects on the Krka River and in the Adriatic, experts use DEB models and organisms such as water flea to discover how invisible plastic particles threaten ecosystems and health.
On the occasion of World Environment Day, D-Marin highlights the key achievements of its ESG program. Through advanced technologies, five tons of marine litter have been removed, and the production of 4.9 GWh of solar energy and strategic partnerships with organizations such as Green Sail are setting new standards in marina sustainability.
