Historical case studies demonstrate how conventional response mechanisms, rooted in fragmented regulations and compensation gaps, remain insufficient for addressing long-term vulnerabilities. Against this backdrop, the study highlights blue finance as a transformative approach for addressing recovery-finance gaps and strengthening coastal resilience.

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) provides standardized, global, high-resolution positional information for most commercial and passenger vessels, making AIS-based noise models widely used to assess exposure risk. However, their accuracy remains largely unvalidated. To evaluate their reliability, we deployed animal-borne GPS and biologging tags on 13 wild harbour porpoises, spanning shallow nearshore habitats and major shipping lanes. Over 60% of the tag-detected vessel noise exposures could not be attributed to AIS-tracked vessels within 4 km of the tagged animals, demonstrating that AIS-based impact assessments may severely underestimate true exposure rates in both small-vessel-dominated coastal areas and offshore waters. We further show that certain vessel types, such as pilot boats, contribute disproportionately to exposure rates relative to their abundance, indicating that vessel noise exposure is driven not only by traffic volume but also by vessel-type-specific operating patterns. Additionally, porpoises maintained greater distances from fast-moving, loud vessels, resulting in received noise levels comparable to those from slower vessels and suggesting vessel-type-specific avoidance responses. These findings reveal critical limitations in AIS-based approaches and underscore the need for integrated monitoring frameworks that combine AIS data with complementary tracking methods capable of capturing the full spectrum of vessel activity while accounting for vessel-type-specific risks.

These shifts suggested enhanced trophic flexibility accompanied by reduced ecosystem maturity. Following the disturbance, Finn's cycling index, Finn's mean path length, and the detritivory/herbivory ratio increased and reached their maximum values in 2019, indicating enhanced detritus-based energy pathway. Keystone functional groups gradually shifted from fish-dominated regulation toward invertebrate-mediated control, while oysters consistently remained among the dominant functional groups. Redundancy/ascendency index analysis revealed that top predators played important roles in maintaining ecosystem stability under disturbance, whereas zooplankton functioned as key mediators of trophic connectivity.

In this short communication, we evaluated the hepatic transcript abundance of vitellogenin isoforms (vtg1 and vtg2) and estrogen receptors (esr1 and esr2) in wild male (n=12) and female (n=3) gray snapper (Lutjanus griseus) acquired from artisanal commercial landings along the coast of Campeche, Mexico (Southern Gulf of Mexico). Four out of twelve males (33.3%) exhibited a marked upregulation of vtg1 and esr1 mRNA, reaching levels comparable to the female reference baseline. In contrast, vtg2 and esr2 transcripts remained low or near detection thresholds across all males. Methodological constraints include the absence of direct analytical chemical measurements, the small size of the female reference group (n=3), and the lack of morphometric and histological data. Furthermore, gene expression induction alone does not prove functional endocrine disruption or reproductive impairment.
