Reduction of carbon, alkalinity and nutrient fluxes in the southern Baltic Sea caused by dragging of otter trawl nets across the seafloor
Abstract. Mobile bottom-contacting fishing (MBCF) represents a substantial anthropogenic disturbance, significantly disrupting seafloor integrity and altering oceanic carbon storage. In this study, we...

Modern fishing is going further and deeper than ever. But there's a big catch
Fishing efforts multiplied nine times between 1970 and 2008. And yet the more we fish, the less fish we are catching.

Satellite boom turns space into orbital wild west
Low Earth orbit is crowded with debris, threatening the atmosphere and future exploration. Experts say it’s time to treat space like an ecosystem, not a dumping ground.
