Given the large temporal and spatial spectra we work on a range of [...] Short Profile Coastal seas are highly variable environments, with variation on all time scales from seconds to decades, and spatial scales from mm to km. Organisms living in such zones should be adapted [...] large variation, but potentially not to the changes that are currently taking place in our coastal seas. Thus, coastal organisms represent the ideal case to contrast the effects of natural and non-natural

AWI scientists Oliver Hauck and Björn Suckow took part in the North Sea Conference 2025 in Oldenburg - and won two awards. In the North Sea Video & Photo Contest, their contributions took first place in two categories: A photo by AWI photographer Esther Horvath won in the “North Sea Places” category. A video produced by Heide Matz and Carlotta Labitzke won in the “Free for All” category. The entries showcase the CLANCY project's efforts to contain the invasive mitten crab.
