The iMARES (Integrated Marine Ecosystem Assessments) is a marine research group from the @ICMCSIC founded in 2022.
🌊 Marine Science Series #4 | From data to better decisions Marine research doesn't end with data collection. Open data, interactive tools and educational resources help turn knowledge into better research and decision-making. Learn more ➡️ imares.science/tools... ICM-CSIC
🌊 Marine Science Series #3 | Plastic pollution doesn't stay where we dump it Seabirds can transport plastic across landscapes, connecting ecosystems in unexpected ways. Missed @JoanNavarro_ICM's paper? Read it here 👇 www.sciencedirect.co... ICM-CSIC #MarineScience
🌊 Marine Science Series #2 | How do scientists assess ocean health? Measuring the state of our oceans goes beyond water quality or fish stocks. Scientists combine biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and human pressures to build the full picture. 👉 imares.science/research ICM-CSIC
🌊 Marine Science Series #1 | Why healthy oceans matter The ocean regulates climate, supports biodiversity, provides food and sustains millions of livelihoods. Understanding marine ecosystems is key to protecting nature and society. Dive deeper ➡️ imares.science/about-us ICM-CSIC
🛡️ Conservation must keep pace with climate change. Today, only about 10% of priority penguin habitats overlap with existing or proposed Marine Protected Areas—and that coverage could decline even further. #PenguinConservation
🌍 The study identifies Priority Penguin Habitat Areas, marine regions that should guide future conservation. As the climate warms, these priority areas are expected to shift southwards towards Antarctic and sub-Antarctic waters.
🌍 Climate change won't affect all penguins equally. While some species could expand into newly suitable areas, Emperor, Adélie, Fiordland and Little penguins are projected to lose much of their optimal habitat.
🐧 The team analysed 12 penguin species to predict how suitable habitats may change throughout this century under different climate scenarios. The results reveal where tomorrow's penguin hotspots could be, and where conservation efforts will matter most. #PenguinConservation
🚨 Paper Alert! Penguins are on the move, and conservation must move with them. A new iMARES-led study, first-authored by Dr. @Fran_seabird, explores how climate change could reshape penguin habitats across the Southern Hemisphere 🌍 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.... ICM-CSIC 🧵👇
🚨 Paper Alert! How is a warming Mediterranean shaping the future of fisheries? A team of researchers from iMARES_group explores the challenges, opportunities and adaptation strategies in a new article published in the #LifeEcoadapt50 magazine. 🔗 ecoadapt50.eu/docume... 🧵👇

🧪 Stable isotopes act as natural tracers, helping scientists study food webs, animal movements and ecosystem functioning. Building reliable "isoscapes" could improve marine conservation and ecosystem management.
🚨 Paper Alert! Dr. Joan Navarro contributed to a new study exploring how stable isotope maps can improve our understanding of Mediterranean marine ecosystems and why better sampling matters. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.co... 🧵👇 ICM-CSIC

🌊 This week our researcher Dr. Miquel Ortega joined the Marine Socio-Ecological Indicators Workshop hosted by @ieo.es, where experts explored integrated indicators to support evidence-informed marine decision-making. He also presented two recent papers 🧵⬇️ ICM-CSIC

🌊 Last week, our PhD student Marisa González presented the preliminary results from the first chapter of her PhD research at #ISMS2026 in Cádiz. 🧵👇
📢 New article by Maria Grazia Pennino in #SOMPeixaters, published by @gremipeixaters (Catalan language)🐟 Discover how oceanographic surveys, fisheries data and scientific models help assess fish stocks and support sustainable fisheries management 👇 ICM-CSIC
🌍 The study explores different future scenarios combining climate change, marine nature-based solutions and seafood harvesting. The results show that choices made today will shape the resilience of marine ecosystems and the benefits they provide to society.
🚀 Tikta is now available! Developed within the #GES4SEAS project, it helps assess the impacts and risks of cumulative pressures on ecosystem components and environmental status, while supporting customised spatial and non-spatial analyses. 🔗Available at zenodo.org/records/2...
Last week, the 2nd #MARVEL project workshop took place, alongside the presentation of #MARVEL_tools Key aspects shaping the projects’ vision were explored, fostering collaboration and advancing innovative approaches. Stay tuned for more! 🚀 #Innovation ICM-CSIC Maria Bas
SSIM between isoscapes indicates spatial correspondence among the three species, suggesting a shared latitudinal variability in isotope values.
We generate isoscapes of δ15N and δ13C for two key pelagic species (anchovy and sardine) and one of their main predators (hake). Our results show a north-to-south gradient in δ15N and δ13C for all three species, and a distinct isotopic pattern around the Ebro Delta shelf.
We’ve officially kicked off at the Hackathon on #SustainableFishing in Barcelona! 🚀 The @imares-group.bsky.social team is now on-site, fully engaged in collaborative sessions, exchanging ideas, and shaping practical solutions for a more sustainable fishing sector. @icmcsic.bsky.social
All approaches show high exposure to environmental cumulative change in the western basin, and in coastal areas.
Cumulative environmental pressure were heterogeneously distributed across space in the Black Sea, with differences between the two approaches: annual mean absolute values versus percentages of monthly anomalies.
We evaluate trends in environmental conditions from (1) annual mean absolute values and (2) percentages of monthly anomalies, using three treatments of the vertical dimension (surface-based, vertically integrated weighted mean, and vertically integrated weighted sum).
