Marine pollution from oil spills, vessel discharges, and ballast water poses significant challenges to environmental sustainability and maritime operations. This research explores the potential of bioremediation techniques, focusing on oil-degrading microorganisms, biofilters, bioreactors, and marine plants, to address these issues. By integrating…

Sustainable aquaculture is essential to meeting the growing global demand for seafood while addressing environmental and socio-economic challenges. This research explores the integration of offshore and coastal aquaculture systems, emphasizing their complementary roles in achieving sustainability within the maritime domain. Offshore systems,…

Biofouling on ship hulls significantly impacts maritime operations by increasing drag, fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions, while traditional antifouling methods often harm marine ecosystems. This research explores innovative biofouling mitigation strategies, focusing on bio-based coatings and active antifouling systems to enhance…

Developing learning tools based on local potential is necessary because it directly relates to students' daily lives. One of them is a Popular Science Book (PSB), which highlights the potential of gastropods in coastal areas as a subject for observing biodiversity. The implementation of assessments and the value of students' critical thinking…

The learning process must actively involve students and provide opportunities for them to study and prove the theories they learn. This study determined the influence of the application of Project-Besad Learning (PjBL) using a laboratory approach on learning outcomes and critical thinking in marine biology. This study used a descriptive…
