Summary: Recent research suggests that human impacts on marine ecosystems have a longer history than previously thought, and it is important to adopt a threshold framework to understand these interactions, considering system-wide changes in human culture, ecosystem dynamics, and molecular evolution. Research approaches should focus on exploring past thresholds and providing key insights for future adaptation. It is crucial to contextualize research efforts within a framework that recognizes human society as integral to ecology and evolution in order to achieve ecological and societal goals for the future.

Summary: Species globally are shifting their ranges in response to climate change, but the potential impacts of these range shifts are not well understood. This study examines the range shift of the predatory whelk Mexacanthina lugubris in southern California and found that its presence led to reduced growth in native whelks and higher tolerance to temperature, indicating further impacts as a result of climate warming. By studying the effects of range-shifting species like Mexacanthina, we can gain a better understanding of how climate change will alter community structure and composition.

Summary: The United States emphasizes commercial fisheries when reporting to the FAO, excluding data from recreational fisheries. A study found that total reconstructed catches were 1.2 times higher than reported, with commercial landings dominating and a decline in total catches over the years. The discrepancy in reported data was largely due to industrial catches that were not officially reported, suggesting the need for improved reporting practices.

Summary: Climate change poses a significant threat to public health, and it is important for local governments to address its impacts. However, there is a lack of guidance and structure for local government in the UK to effectively incorporate the health and health inequality impacts of climate change in their climate action plans. This study identified key barriers and facilitators in addressing these impacts, including the need to save money on energy and successful partnership working, as well as insufficient staff and resources and lack of support from management/leaders as barriers.

Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the AMR landscape and the impact of COVID-19 on AMR in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon, and to gather expert opinions on the barriers to AMS initiatives in the region. The survey revealed that multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria were most common in hospital-acquired infections, and technological and resource constraints were identified as significant barriers to the successful management of MDR gram-negative bacterial infections in the region. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant rise in AMR, with unnecessary and unsubstantiated antibiotic prescriptions contributing to antibiotic shortages and increased AMR in the region.

Summary: Threats to water security are increasing globally, with major threats in the Great Lakes region arising from land-use practices that promote pollution. In the Maumee River Watershed, harmful algal bloom events caused by nutrient inputs have become more frequent and severe, leading to the shutdown of the City of Toledo's drinking water supply in 2014. These conditions were a result of historical land-use practices that transformed the watershed into a source of nutrients favoring harmful algal blooms. Successful policy intervention should address the complexities of the watershed as a multi-scale complex adaptive system, considering agricultural practices and conflicting socioeconomic drivers. We propose three interventions to restore ecological balance.

Summary: Transfer efficiency, the proportion of energy passed between nodes in food webs, is an emergent and unitless property that is challenging to measure. It responds dynamically to environmental and ecosystem changes, with slight variations potentially having large effects on food availability for top predators. Both process-level analysis and observed macro-scale variations suggest that ecosystem-scale transfer efficiency is highly variable and will decline with climate change, emphasizing the importance of fully understanding the processes controlling transfer efficiency.

Summary: Sidney J. Holt was not only a founding father of quantitative fisheries science and a key figure in saving great whales, but also a champion of reductionism and a systemic thinker who inspired critical thinking in marine conservation and management. His work across themes such as maximum sustainable yield, marine mammal conservation, ecosystem-based marine management, and historical perspectives emphasized evidence-based solutions and the precautionary principle. There are valuable lessons to be learned from his collaborative and evidence-driven approach for current and future generations of scientists.

Summary: The use of enhanced marine ecosystem models and Earth system model outputs from CMIP6 reveals a greater decline in mean global ocean animal biomass than previously projected under both strong-mitigation and high-emissions scenarios. Climate change impacts are expected to lead to long-term declines in global marine animal biomass and unevenly distributed impacts on fisheries. The new ensemble ecosystem simulations show a greater decline in mean global ocean animal biomass under both strong-mitigation and high-emissions scenarios due to elevated warming, highlighting the need to reduce uncertainty in projected responses of marine ecosystems to climate change.

Summary: This study examines the potential impacts of climate change on fisheries and agriculture in coastal communities across five Indo-Pacific countries. The findings show that while both sectors are at risk, fisheries are projected to suffer higher losses. Most locations will experience simultaneous losses in both fisheries and agriculture, but climate change mitigation measures could help reduce this double burden. Lower socioeconomic status communities are more likely to be affected.
