Summary: Biological early warning systems (BEWSs) are widely used tools for monitoring water pollution, which sense environmental changes by monitoring the behavior or physiology of living organisms. Bivalve molluscs, such as mussels and clams, are ideal sensing organisms for BEWSs due to their high water filtration capacity, sensitivity to various pollutants, longevity, abundance, and physical responses to environmental change. Valve movements and bivalve cardiac activity are commonly used metrics in ecotoxicology studies and development of BEWSs, but other less studied behaviors, such as shell growth and dissolution, premature egg/larval release, horizontal movement, and burial, may also exhibit pollutant impacts. Future advancements in BEWSs may include integration of different metrics simultaneously, multi-species monitoring, and techniques that reduce disturbance to bivalves.

Summary: This study investigated the cadmium pollution in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea and its impact on aquatic organisms. The results showed that Cd concentrations higher than 0.1 mg/L in water can lead to a decrease in the population of aquatic animals and affect the physiological state of mollusks. However, the current situation of Cd pollution in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland is not critical.

Summary: This study explores the possibility of identifying regions with intense patch formation from floating items through the comparison of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) and Finite-Time Compressibility (FTC). The research focuses on the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea and reveals a clear seasonal pattern in mixing strength, with areas of frequent upwelling or downwelling consistently showing higher mixing intensity than average. The combination of FTC and LCS methods has the potential to be a powerful tool in identifying the formation of pollution patches on the sea surface.

Summary: Modern research methods provide a higher resolution for understanding the structure of the water column, unveiling the significance of submesoscale processes. A glider mission in the Gulf of Finland in May 2018 revealed the appearance of a mesoscale front with smaller scale features. Tracer patterns indicated the presence of ageostrophic secondary circulation caused by the loss of upwelling-favorable forcing, and analysis showed favorable conditions for instability. Spatial spectra of tracer variance revealed depth-dependent slopes associated with the mesoscale front, indicating its contribution to the energy cascade.

Summary: To control harmful algae blooms, natural mechanisms based methods are required. This study investigated the effects of an algicide derived from macrophyte metabolites on the biomass of cyanobacteria and other plankton and the production of microcystins. The results showed that the algicide could change the phytoplankton structure, decrease cyanobacterial biomass, and reduce the total concentration of microcystins. Surprisingly, the most toxic microcystins were found to be higher in the microcosms exposed to algicide. The inhibitory effect on cyanobacterial biomass was most significant in complex ecosystems containing fish.

Summary: This study analyzed the oxygen consumption in the near-bottom layer of the Gulf of Riga in 2018 and found that the pronounced oxygen depletion was caused by the development of vertical stratification and the inflow of saltier waters from the Baltic Proper. The estimated oxygen consumption rate exceeded the oxygen input rate, leading to severe hypoxia in the study year. The study also suggests that similar hypoxia events may become more common in the future due to climate change projections.

Summary: The circulation patterns in the Baltic Sea play a crucial role in the physical and biogeochemical processes. This study focused on investigating the quasi-steady circulation patterns under prevailing forcing conditions. The results showed persistent circulation features such as upwelling, downwelling, boundary currents, and sub-halocline gravity currents. These patterns were in geostrophic balance and highly persistent, influenced by the location of pycnoclines and wind-driven advection.

Summary: The Sao Francisco River is an important river in Brazil, crossing the semi-arid region. A series of dams have been built along the river for hydropower, changing the flow significantly. A hydrodynamic model was used to simulate the effects of flow changes on saline intrusion in the estuary. The simulations showed an increase in mixing and decrease in river contribution after the dams were built. The results can be used by management agencies to improve water quality for human consumption.

Summary: Seasonal-scale local forcings reduce coastal pH and aragonite saturation state. The dynamics of carbonate system parameters were investigated in a coral habitat influenced by seasonal current patterns. Both Oaragonite and pH showed seasonal variations, controlled by dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and temperature. Ocean acidification scenarios projected a decrease in Oaragonite amplitude and an increase in hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]) amplitude.

Summary: The Vistula Lagoon, one of the two lagoons on the Polish coast, is economically and environmentally significant. This study aims to calculate the water balance of the lagoon before and after the construction of a canal through the Vistula Spit. The construction of the new connection may impact the lagoon's water balance and its biotic and abiotic environment. Data on precipitation, evaporation, inflow from the catchment, and inflow/outflow through the Strait of Baltiysk were collected for mathematical modeling. The study suggests that the construction of the new canal will not significantly alter the lagoon's water balance but may cause environmental problems.

Summary: We demonstrate that wind-driven Ekman transport enhances the advection and mixing of cells, leading to the transport of colder water from the Surface Antarctic Waters to the warmer waters of the northern Polar Front belt. This mechanism provides cells with a favorable temperature environment, allowing for specific species and community growth rates to develop blooms under non-light limiting macronutrients and iron conditions. Our findings have important implications for increased productivity in a future warming climate.
