Summary: This study conducted a community investigation on the characteristics of seaweed communities and the current status of barren ground in natural seaweed beds in Korea. The study found that the seaweed community varied significantly depending on the sea area and barren ground, with a more severe decrease in the eastern coast compared to the southern coast. Suitable countermeasures corresponding to the characteristics of each sea area are necessary.

Summary: This study investigated the seasonal and spatial changes in marine algal community structure in Yeongil Bay's intertidal zones. The researchers collected algal samples and analyzed species composition, biomass, and the important value index. The results showed differences in algal communities between the outer and inner areas of Yeongil Bay due to the dominance of Ulva spp.

Summary: Benthic Foraminifera are capable of surviving and thriving in contaminated marine ecosystems. They exhibit morphological adaptations and metabolic activities to cope with polluted environments, including protein synthesis, intracellular protein trafficking, and cytoskeleton modification. This research provides insights into the understanding of marine pollution and ecosystem recovery.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the transition in fish and marine mammal communities from South to Northeast Greenland using environmental DNA (eDNA). The results demonstrate a clear shift in biological communities from south to northeast, with different fish and mammal species dominating each region. The study highlights the potential of eDNA sampling in detecting latitudinal changes in marine biological communities and its feasibility in remote areas as climate change progresses.

Summary: This study conducted a survey of macrobenthos species diversity and community structure in the Ulleung Basin of the East Sea in South Korea. A total of 262 species were detected, with an average density of 243 individuals/m(2) and an average biomass of 43.7 g/m(2). The community structure was influenced by water depth, temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. The findings have important implications for understanding benthic ecosystems in the East Sea.

Summary: This study describes the characteristics and diversity of benthic habitats and their associated communities in two marine protected areas in the southern Romanian Black Sea. The ecological status of these habitats was evaluated using various indicators. The majority of the sampling stations showed good ecological status, while a minority showed concerns for the coastal system. Further research and conservation efforts are needed.

Summary: This study utilizes satellite remote sensing data and reanalysis data to analyze the trend of marine heatwaves (MHWs) in the Japan/East Sea (JES) from 1982 to 2021. The results show a significant increase in MHW indices in the JES, with the most severe events occurring in the East Korean Bay (EKB) in the summer of 2021. Further analysis reveals that the MHWs in the EKB have higher occurrences and intensities compared to the JES, attributed to the atmospheric high-pressure system, net positive lateral heat fluxes, and weak sea surface wind over the EKB area. The study suggests the need for oceanic numerical models to investigate other potential causes of MHW events in 2021.

Summary: This study demonstrates that skillful chlorophyll predictions up to two years in advance are possible by successfully simulating westward-propagating off-equatorial Rossby waves in the Indian ocean. The mechanisms underlying these predictions are found to be initially excited by wind stress forcing caused by El Nino/Southern Oscillation-Indian Ocean teleconnections.

Summary: The east coast of South Korea is facing issues of coastal erosion due to sea-level rise, storm surges, and coastal development. The analysis of shoreline changes over several decades reveals that the primary drivers of coastline changes are typhoon-induced storm surges, high storm waves, and anthropogenic activities. A decision-making classification scheme is proposed for implementing protective and preventive measures against further coastal deterioration.

Summary: Marine algae oligosaccharides (MAOs) are degradation products of marine algae polysaccharides (MAPs) and have prebiotic effects that promote health by enhancing the activity of beneficial bacteria and producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). While the exact structures and prebiotic activities of MAOs are still largely unexplored, they play an important role in gut microbiota.
