    Abstract Microbes have often been overlooked as indicators of how the ecological status is affected by human pressures. Recently, the biotic index microgAMBI was proposed to assess the status of marine sediments and waters, and it has been tested under different pressures and biogeographical areas. This index is based on the assignation of microbial taxa to one of two ecological groups: sensitive or tolerant to pollution or disturbance. The resulting taxa list has grown significantly since its first publication. Given the growing use of microgAMBI, it is crucial to make it more FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. Hence, this work provides the calculation template, the updated taxa list (1,974 taxa currently), and instructions on how to access and use them for assessing marine microbial ecological status.

    Abstract It is axomatic that a system cannot be managed unless it is measured and that the measurements occur in a rigorous, defendable manner covering relevant spatial and temporal scales. Furthermore, it is not possible to predict the future direction of a system unless any predictive approach or model is supported by empirical evidence from monitoring. The marine system is no different from any other system in these regards. This review indicates the nature and topics of marine monitoring, its constraints in times of economic austerity, the sequence of topics subject to monitoring and the amount of monitoring of various topics carried out as indicated by the number of publications and researchers. We discuss the way in which the nature of monitoring is decided and we use examples to comment on the way monitoring leads to and responds to marine management and governance.

    Abstract MicrogAMBI is a bacterial community-based index, recently developed to assess the ecological status of marine systems. The easy access to High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) technologies, allowing microgAMBI the quick taxonomic identification of bacterial assemblages, providing an early warning signal to assess impacts. MicrogAMBI was developed, applied to human pressures (organic and metal pollution), and validated, in estuaries and coasts of the Basque Country (northern Spain). Here, to test the efficiency of the index, six case studies have been selected, including different substrata and environments (sediment, water column, coral, and a sludge reactor), from polar to temperate and tropical locations. The pressures include a polluted sludge reactor, underground discharges, diffuse pollution, sedimentation, sewage outfalls and eutrophication, as well as two pristine areas, in some cases with spatial and temporal gradients. To calculate the index, the new taxa list includes 693 taxa. The list, being public, will allow to achieve a consensus in the assignation of taxa to ecological groups. This would facilitate the assessment of multiple human pressures, based upon bacteria composition. The study has demonstrated that microgAMBI has the potential to work reasonably well under very different environments and pressures. The index provides a single, clear and efficient way to establish the ecological status, based upon bacteria community composition, along spatial and temporal pressure gradients.

    Abstract Marine ecosystems contribute to human well-being, e.g. through the promotion of nature-based recreational activities such as surfing, which is a benefit obtained from Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES). Our research objective is to identify the benefits and impacts associated to surfing, and who are the main affected subjects and/or objects, achieving a better understanding of the sustainability status of this recreational activity. To this end, a bibliometric study and systematic review was carried out for the period 1965-2021. Benefits and impacts were collated and grouped according to their dimensional focus and type of effects in 6 groups (3-dimensional focus × 2 type of effects). The results revealed that since the beginning of 21st century surfing research topics are growing and diversifying. This review shows that implications of surfing go beyond direct users (i.e., surfers) and has consequences in diverse dimensions (environmental, socio cultural and economic), involving many stakeholders (e.g., scientific, and local communities). Most of the pieces of evidence collated in this research were related with the people who practice the activity and its social implications (psychological benefits as main benefit and injuries as main impact). Following an interdisciplinary approach, we obtained a holistic understanding of the surfing activity, not only in terms of the different dimensions addressed but on the sectors of the society that obtain benefits or are impacted by the activity. All of them should be considered and integrated to guarantee the sustainable management of this CES benefit.
