Research AnthroTOP Anthropogenic uses in the North Sea: Impacts on marine top predators Human activities have various, mostly negative, impacts on marine [...] uses is crucial. In AnthroTop, we are using models to predict how different use scenarios in the North Sea might affect the distribution of marine top predators and what this might mean for marine ecosystems [...] Funding: Bundesamt für Naturschutz CRANMAN II Scientific studies on the biology and fisheries of the North Sea shrimp CRANgon crangon as the basis for an efficient self-MANagement system Catch of the brown shrimp

global sea-level rise of up to seven metres. Moreover, the tremendous amounts of meltwater produced could influence ocean currents, sparking massive changes in the climate, especially in the North Atlantic [...] accurately simulates the past, it can also project the future, paving the way for forecasts on e.g. future sea-level rise or global warming. In this way, these models provide the scientific basis for formulating [...] floodwalls and levees are costly. That’s why it’s important to be able to estimate today how much the sea level will rise, or how much the intensity of hurricanes will increase, tomorrow. Climate modeling

the amount of sea-level rise will be similar to the global mean. To FAQ element What’s going on in the North Sea? There are also regional differences in sea-level rise in the North Sea. Over the past [...] levees. Further, the tidal flats of the North Sea can to some extent rise in step with the sea level, as high and low tide regularly add new sediment. However, if sea-level rise exceeds a certain point – [...] Global sea level on the rise Around the world, sea level is rising. From 1901 to 2018, global mean sea level rose by 20 centimetres – and in the future, it will continue to do so, and more quickly. This
