    For Developing Countries, Seafood Imports Are a Nutritional Bargain

    A new economic analysis found that developing countries pay less for the nutrition in seafood imports than developed countries, largely because developed countries pay a premium for non-nutritional attributes such as convenience. The findings suggest that disruptions to the global seafood trade could affect food and nutritional security in countries that depend on seafood imports for meeting their dietary needs.

    Ocean ‘Greening’ at Poles Could Spell Changes for Fisheries

    Ocean waters are getting greener at the poles and bluer toward the equator, according to a new study. The change reflects shifting concentrations of a green pigment called chlorophyll made by photosynthetic algae at the base of the ocean food chain.

    Researchers Discover Unique Chemistry in Critical Lithium Deposits

    Much of the world’s lithium occurs in salty waters with fundamentally different chemistry than other naturally saline waters like the ocean, according to a new study published in Science Advances. The finding has implications for lithium mining technologies and wastewater assessment and management.
