The Central Zone is influenced by strong northwesterly winds and freshwater inputs from rivers and precipitation, making it crucial to understand its thermal and haline dynamics in response to these forcings. This study examines the seasonal variability of temperature and salinity in the water column at a fixed station in the Central Zone from 2018 to 2022, analyzing key environmental drivers. A detailed assessment of absolute salinity fluctuations in the upper layers was conducted using ocean reflectance from Sentinel-2 satellite data, river discharge, and wind dynamics, modeled with a generalized additive model incorporating delayed effects. Results reveal a seasonal surface temperature pattern, increasing in summer and decreasing in winter due to solar radiation. In winter, the surface layer remained relatively uniform, while summer conditions led to thermal stratification driven by intense solar heating. A winter thermal inversion was observed, attributed to reduced solar radiation and the vertical intrusion of warmer Modified Subantarctic Water from the Pacific. Surface salinity exhibited a seasonal cycle, with lower values and stronger stratification in winter due to freshwater discharge and wind-driven advection of the river plume toward the study site. In contrast, deeper layers remained relatively homogeneous in temperature and salinity, influenced by Pacific-origin Modified Subantarctic Water. Climate change-driven shifts in these forcings could alter the water column structure, impacting ecosystem functioning and Indigenous communities reliant on marine resources. This study provides essential insights into the thermal and haline dynamics of the Central Zone, supporting marine biodiversity management and conservation efforts in the region.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21070,"journal":{"name":"Regional Studies in Marine Science","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 104087"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143464707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Predictions indicate a pH decrease of 0.3–0.5 units by the year 2100 and 0.7 units by the year 2300. The effects of OA vary among species, exposure time, physiological limits, and short-term adaptability. This phenomenon can be exacerbated in many coastal marine habitats due to nutrient inputs, upwelling events, and terrestrial sources of acidity. This study analyzed the effects of pH reduction on the shell and mantle tissue structure of the juvenile pen shell (<em>Atrina maura</em>) living in coastal bay where the natural pH is 7.8. These organisms were exposed to a reduction of pH (7.5) for 40 days. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the shells revealed signs of malformation and dissolution of the calcite prismatic layer and the nacre layer at acidic pH (7.5 ± 0.2) compared to controls (7.8 ± 0.1) throughout the experiment. However, shell growth increased 13.95 % after CO₂ injection after 40 days of exposure, while the shell index and the mantle tissue remained unaffected any of the times evaluated. The results suggest that <em>A. maura</em>, a species naturally exposed to acidic environments, may experience effects from pH reductions primarily in their shell microstructure, while mantle morphology remains unaffected. The results obtained here prove that resilience of marine species, such as <em>A. maura</em>, can be compromised by ocean acidification (OA), highlighting the importance of continued exploration in this field to better understand the broader implications of OA on marine ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21070,"journal":{"name":"Regional Studies in Marine Science","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 104082"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143464706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite persistent sewage discharges and elevated nutrient levels, we hypothesize a hydrobiological response to climatic variations.

Significant seasonal variations were observed for nitrogenous compounds (ammonia and nitrite), temperature, and dissolved oxygen.

While complying with the best practices for MPA establishment, this area also contributes to national and international conservation targets. Measuring the success of MPAs relies on the availability of the best scientific information, including baseline data on biodiversity, habitat and human activities characterization. Marine recreational fishing is a significantly important human activity within this recently designated MPA. Hence, the systematic collection of quantitative data on this activity is critical for determining its impacts and ensuring the preservation and protection of fisheries resource. This study aims to collect and analyze socioeconomic and ecological data on shore angling fisheries at NMPAR-PV, implementing surveys and instantaneous counting. Data from 325 questionnaires and 27 counting surveys conducted between February 2022 and February 2023 highlighted the importance of shore angling. The activity is primarily conducted by local Portuguese men, over 50, employed and with low formal education. Most recreational fishers supported the MPA's implementation, suggesting community care for conservation efforts. The annual fishing effort was estimated at 52 198 ± 6 631 angling hours, with peaks in Autumn.

Our findings revealed that <em>A. fangsiao</em> was concentrated in the southern Yellow Sea in spring, in the Zhoushan fishing ground near the Yangtze River Estuary in summer, expanded to the entire East China Sea in autumn, and migrated offshore in winter.

For that, time series of bulk wave parameters and wave spectra covering the period from 1996 to 2020 were analyzed. Results revealed that 57 % of the spectra exhibit double peaks indicating the prevalence of simultaneous wind-sea and swell events. To differentiate between wind-waves and swell cases, the Pierson–Moskowitz (PM) spectrum peak method was implemented. In this method, the ratio between the peak energy of a wave system and the energy of the PM spectrum with the same peak frequency is computed. If this ratio is greater than one, the wave system is categorized as wind-sea; otherwise, as swell. Later, a support vector network (SVM) classificator was applied to significant height (Hs) and peak period (Tp). Results indicate that a linear expression (Tp = 2.5 Hs + 3.3) optimally separates wind-sea and swell. The typical Hs were 1–2 m for wind-sea and 0.5–1 m for swell, with mean Tp values of 5.2 s and 10.5 s respectively. Wind-sea waves predominantly propagated from the E and S, while swell from the SE. Swell seasonality indicated the highest occurrence during the winter months and minimal occurrences during summer. Finally, the performance of the WAVERYS and IOWAGA products in predicting arrival times of swell at the RDP was evaluated. Both predicted an earlier arrival time for swell in over 70 % of the events.
