       'Simulating the transport of plastics, nutrients and pollutants in the ocean is important to address societal questions in environmental management and sustainability. Many Lagrangian transport simulators have been introduced in the past decades, yet they all share two distinct limitations, namely, long compute times and reliance on large compute equipment. These limitations hinder a transient incorporation of outdoor observations for Lagrangian physical simulations. This paper introduces a novel particle advection approach for Lagrangian ocean transport simulations, specifically designed for mobile devices and field use. A proof-of-concept for particle advection via 4th order Runge–Kutta time integration is presented and validated across different datasets. The approach is parallelized for SIMD architectures on mobile platforms. The results demonstrate a time-integration of 500,000 particles in approximately 10.2 ms per timestep, enabling an interactive co-visualization of the simulation. Achieved runtimes on mobile devices are within the same order of magnitude as established non-portable Lagrangian ocean-transport simulators, such as TRACMASS and OceanParcels, with comparable scalability. Consequently, this novel simulation approach opens new possibilities for field-conducted simulations in the future.',

+      'Seamounts are unique habitats in the deep sea facing anthropogenic stressors, including future deep-sea mining. To conserve patchy marine habitats such as seamounts, it is critical to design conservation area networks that maintain connectivity by larval dispersal. This study conducted biophysical modeling to quantify larval dispersal among 18 seamounts in the Northwest Pacific, within the scope of a regional environmental management plan for mining under development by the International Seabed Authority. Seamounts formed a single dispersal network, but excluding seamounts with mining potential showed the network could become fragmented. Two seamounts whose mining potential was relinquished in 2024 were identified as key stepping stones, suggesting that environmental conservation at these two seamounts can contribute to maintaining a single dispersal network. Predominant eastward or westward currents, likely related to the North Equatorial Intermediate Current, made the upstream, distant seamounts vital larval sources. Trajectories of Argo floats and gene flows of amphipods provided physical and biological support for the modeled dispersal. This study highlights the potential for effective conservation area placement based on a seamount network connected by upstream-based larval dispersal.',

+      'This study presents an integrated assessment of floating marine macro litter (FMML) distribution and transport in the western Black Sea, based on visual observations conducted during a research cruise in July 2024. Eight transects were surveyed along the Romanian coast, revealing a marked contrast between coastal and offshore FMML densities. While nearshore stations showed relatively low concentrations, offshore transects beyond the Northwestern Shelf (NWS) exhibited densities exceeding 9000 items/km, primarily due to the presence of elongated white plastic strips. Lagrangian backtracking simulations using the LOCATE model identified distinct origin pathways: coastal FMML was linked to riverine systems such as the Danube, Dniester, and Dnieper-Bug, whereas offshore litter appeared to originate near the Crimean Peninsula. Persistent mesoscale cyclonic activity, revealed through analysis of the  parameter, was found to create convergence zones that facilitate debris accumulation, with one particularly stable gyre located near 32°E and 44°N. These findings suggest the influence of both natural circulation and conflict-driven inputs on FMML distribution. The combined use of observational surveys, transport modeling, and circulation patterns offers a replicable framework for marine litter monitoring and supports science-based management strategies under evolving environmental and geopolitical conditions.',

+      'Pumice rafts derived from submarine eruptions can remain afloat for months or even years, traveling thousands of kilometers on ocean currents. These natural phenomena disperse marine organisms and provide important evidence for submarine volcanism yet are not fully understood. Here, we describe pumice clasts from Falkland Islands shorelines and use major-minor-trace element analyses to trace their provenance to the 1962 volcanic eruption on Protector Shoal, a large seamount in the South Sandwich Islands, Scotia Sea. Compositional variability between rafted and dredged pumice from Protector Shoal suggests eruptions have varied from explosive to non- or mildly explosive (the latter from lava domes and during neptunian events) and the seamount is volcanically diverse. Oceanographic modeling simulations and historical observations show that clasts from the 1962 eruption reached the Falkland Islands via the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, a journey of ∼20,000 km that took approximately three years. Although oceanographic variability strongly affects modeled transport pathways, in all simulations particles consistently reach the Falkland Islands from Protector Shoal seamount, suggesting a persistent long-distance connection. The results highlight the potential for pumice rafting to disperse non-native, potentially invasive, marine organisms throughout the Southern Ocean as climate warms.',
