In a world increasingly disrupted by the ongoing climate crisis, it’s perhaps unsurprising that our oceans are feeling the long-term effects of marine heatwaves. Right on our doorstep, the Mediterranean is a particular hotspot for this phenomenon. Some areas of the sea can see temperature anomalies of 5, 6, or even 7 degrees above average. That is not good news for marine ecosystems, as habitats are disappearing and fish stocks are moving to different areas of the ocean. Pippa Moore is a professor of Marine Science at Newcastle University in the UK. She is hopeful that changes can be made to m...

With approximately 20 new non-native animals and plants discovered in European waters annually - and a staggering 70% of them found lurking in the Mediterranean - ocean experts are delving into the implications of these aquatic intruders. In the idyllic waters of Madeira, which are home to 70 non-indigenous species, researchers stumbled upon a troubling find just two years ago: a brown algae with the name Rugulopteryx okamurae. João Canning-Clode is the chairman of the Invasive Species Expert Group at ICES, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. He describes this algae disco...

“The first thing I do is gather the right information… I'll make sure that I know what is being served to me, why it was caught and how it was caught - and I can base my decision on that,” says Louis Lambrechts, the European Ocean Policy officer at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). He’s talking about how he decides what fish to buy at a shop or order at a restaurant. Thanks to his position in the WWF, though, he has significantly more insight into overfishing - and how to avoid it - than the rest of us. “I wouldn't trust a fishmonger or a chef that wouldn't be able to tell me what he’s serving me...

At Ocean Calls, we often focus on how improving fisheries policies and sustainable aquaculture can help us take better care of the ocean. However, how often do you think about the men and women whose working lives are interwoven with the tides and waves of the sea? Across Europe, you’ll often see small boats of less than 12 metres in length. Onboard, you’ll find the owners of these vessels, many of them at the helm of their own small-scale fishing operations. In a world where overfishing is seen as far too prevalent, some experts say these small boats could hold the key to that issue. While th...
