Journal Article
Want, A., Goubard, A., Jonveaux, S., Leaver, D., & Bell, M. C. (2023). Key Biofouling Organisms in Tidal Habitats Targeted by the Offshore Renewable Energy Sector in the North Atlantic Include the Massive Barnacle Chirona hameri. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 11(11), Article 2168. https://doi.org/10.3390/jmse11112168

Marine habitats are being targeted for the extraction of offshore renewable energy (ORE) as part of the drive to decarbonise electricity generation. Unmanaged biofouling impacts ORE devices and infrastructure by elevating drag forces, increasing weig...

The establishment of the invasive non-native macroalga Sargassum muticum in the north of Scotland (2023)
Journal Article
Want, A., Matejusova, I., & Kakkonen, J. E. (2023). The establishment of the invasive non-native macroalga Sargassum muticum in the north of Scotland. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK, 103, Article e69. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0025315423000577

The spread of the brown seaweed Sargassum muticum is one of the best documented invasions of a non-native marine species. Observation of a potentially established population of S. muticum in the Orkney Islands archipelago, located off the northern co...
