Turning complex biodiversity data into information that can be used to inform policy is a challenging task. The European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet) produces free, standardised biological data products to address this challenge.

Researchers in China have developed a novel method of extracting lithium from spent lithium batteries.

Good media coverage has been found to motivate citizens to report species observations, which can help efforts to track invasive species in Europe.

Compounds used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and agriculture persist in aquatic environments, potentially impacting water quality and ecosystem health.
