Western Indian Ocean and Impacts of SDG14: Life Below Water
Abstract: The SDGs outline a sustainable and inclusive global future. This paper discusses progress toward SDG 14 within the WIO, emphasizing four targets that were set for achievement by 2020. Given that current methods of evaluation of policy-informing lack precision, in this region, little headway has been made toward meeting the set targets, and the attainment of SDG 14 by 2030 does not seem possible. SDG 14.2 and 14.5: Moving at …

Whispers of the Microbial World: Unveiling Bacterial Dialogues through Quorum Sensing
Abstract: Quorum sensing is a special way of bacteria by which they can regulate their own gene expression as per the population density of the bacteria. It is basically a type of cell-to-cell communication pathway used by the microbes. The signal molecule which helps in this mechanism are called auto inducer(AI). As the mechanism depends by changes in the cell density, so when the cell density reaches to the threshold cell …

Impact of Marine Pollution Threats and Conservation of Marine Biodiversity
Abstract: Ocean occupies 71% of earth’s surface and is traditionally divided into four large basins including North and South Atlantic, North and South Pacific, Arctic and Indian oceans. In India we have a vast coastal area of 7516.6 km from Kolkata to Gujarat and also many islands including Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep with vast fin and shellfish biodiversity. Human interference and both natural and artificial factors pose the biggest threat …

Aquaculture Advancements Through Bioactive Molecules
Abstract: A wide range of seafood species – including fish, shellfish, squid, and bivalves – generate by-products that are often discarded as waste. However, these by-products hold great potential for developing innovative functional food products. Because there is limited opportunity to recycle natural resources, the loss of profit may be accompanied by the loss of ecological sustainability, given that the “wastes” of industrial processing can account for up to 75% of …

Biodiversity Loss and Its Impact on Dietary Land Diversity and Nutritional Status: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Habitat destruction, climate change, overexploitation, and agricultural intensification contribute to the current predicament in global food systems: Loss of biodiversity means less plant and animal species to be utilized. This study examines and synthesizes the available literature in PubMed and Scopus on how losses in biodiversity adversely affect people’s diets and nutritional status, especially in the case of malnutrition and missing key micronutrients of certain demographic cohorts. Principal factors are …

Ecological and Biomonitoring Studies of Freshwater with Reference to Selected Phytoplankton Species of Manar Reservoir, Maharashtra
Abstract: Freshwater reservoirs play a crucial role in supporting domestic, agricultural, and fisheries requirements, particularly in semi-arid regions of Maharashtra. Rivers and the surface water are important sources of drinking and several other usages. Aquatic ecosystems are vital in the supply of nutritious food and food source supplementation. Therefore, we selected to study the role of plankton within the aquatic ecosystem systematically here. Plankton are very small organisms; they are of …

Oceanmind Systems: AI-Driven Marine Life Intelligence for Climate Prediction and Ocean Ecosystem Stability
Abstract: Oceans regulate global climate systems, support biodiversity, and serve as critical carbon sinks, yet they remain under-monitored relative to their ecological importance. Traditional oceanographic methods rely heavily on satellite sensing, buoy networks, and periodic marine surveys, which often fail to capture real-time biological dynamics at micro-ecosystem levels. This paper introduces OceanMind Systems, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven marine intelligence framework that integrates marine life behavior, oceanographic data, and computational modeling to …
