The toll on the gulf and its marine life may not be known for years.
With new launches also coming from Grady-White, Silverton Marine, Doral International and Luhrs Marine, summer may not be so far away after all.
This suggests that the HPF profiles of Jurassic marine successions may not be reliable indicators of global climate change.
However high levels of genetic differentiation between populations over small spatial scales were described [121], [122] suggesting that marine ecosystems may not be as interconnected as they seem [123], [124].
At a first glance, the marine environment may not seem too conducive to adaptive evolution compared with land.
The Pomacentridae and Embiotocidae, both of which inhabit coastal marine waters, may not have had such opportunity to colonize novel habitats without competitors.
As a consequence, the oceans of the near future may well smell very different from those of today, and marine eco-systems may not have time to adapt to its new scent.
While it now appears the worst elements of the Abbot Point coal terminal, which involved "the dumping of three million cubic tonnes of dredge spoil in the marine park area" may not proceed, the threat of climate change and environmental problems from increased shipping of coal exports remain.
Nevertheless, this 'sponge biomarker' could have other sources - such as marine algae — so may not constrain the origin of Porifera.
This suggests that oxidized marine n-3 may not be associated with acute oxidative toxicity.
However, while analyses of prey remains from stomach contents provide essential insights into the diet of marine mammals, they may not reveal long-term feeding habits, the use of patchily distributed, locally abundant food resources, and the relative importance of particular prey species to an animal's diet [ 10].
