This week in the media, it’s all about a mysterious giant squid hanging around a shipwreck and a worrying decline in fish poop. Plus an interview with science communicator, and DOSI Advisory Board member Jon Copley. Other important publications include an opinion piece in PNAS highlighting the need for a transformational and equitable approach to managing the global commons (ABNJ) which moves beyond the status quo, the potential impacts of deep-seabed mining on meiofauna associated with polymetallic nodules, the influence of methane seepage on macrofauna associated with authigenic carbonate rocks and hermaphroditism in fish. Another study suggests that deep-ocean cooling may have offset the early stages of anthropogenic global warming, and a paleoceanographic paper considers the impact of the Antarctic Cold Reversal on Southern Ocean deep-sea fauna.
And that’s just a few of the new dee-sea papers. There’s plenty more to get stuck into including funding opportunities, expressions of interest and abstract submissions.
