For all that he lost the most important part of his starboard foil yesterday Seb SIMON (Groupe DUBREUIL) is managing to keep up the high average speeds. Right now he has more wind than leader Charlie DALIN (MACIF Santé Prévoyance) who is nudging into the influence of a big area of high pressure which is pulsing in from the NW, squeezed by an east moving depression which is affecting his 'hunters'.

Chemists from the Institute of Research in Biomedicine (IRB) and from the R+D department of PharmaMar have devised a new synthesis method with pipecolidepsin A, a compound that is active against eleven types of cancers and property of PharmaMar. This advance opens the door to copying and improving 38 natural molecules derived from marine sponges that are very promising for the treatment of various diseases.

The food and nutrient security of billions of people worldwide depend on fish being treated as a domestic public health asset instead of a commodity.

* Construction of Asset Wealth Index for Tanzanian Small-Scale Fisheries based on a Multiple Correspondence Approach. * Less wealthy fishers target fewer species and are less able to absorb changes in management measures such as closures. * Wealthier fishers with high adaptive capacity are able to better absorb the short-term losses of fisheries closures.

Microplastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental challenge globally, posing threats to biodiversity, marine life, and human health. Studies indicate that marine organisms, from plankton to larger fish species, and ultimately humans are ingesting microplastics, leading to physiological harm such as inflammation, digestive blockages, tissue injury, hormonal imbalance, reproductive failure and biomagnification through the food chain. Therefore, there arises an urgent need and demand for implementing effective and sustainable remediation solutions. Though, various mitigation technologies are developed, less information is available on the advantages and disadvantages of the technological advancements. The present review highlights the significant information available on the sources, types, transport of microplastics along with the analytical methods to detect the microplastic pollutions. The global perspective of microplastic pollutions with respect to Indian Marine scenario was highlighted. The recent and advanced mitigation technologies and solutions in preventing, reducing and recycling these microplastic pollutions were also addressed. This review further underscores the need for comprehensive strategies to monitor, manage and mitigate microplastic pollution, including policy interventions, public awareness campaigns, and sustainable waste management practices. Addressing this issue is essential for preserving the health of India's marine ecosystems and safeguarding the livelihoods of mankind.
