How to ultrasound a 15-foot-wide giant mother manta
Scientists want to know where manta rays go with their rare and infrequent pregnancies. Underwater ultrasounds help get them started.
The ocean's health may depend on a tiny microbe inside fish
A surprising new discovery suggests that tiny microbes living inside fish may be helping shape the chemistry of the world’s oceans. Scientists found evidence that bacteria in the guts of marine fish work alongside their hosts to produce calcium carbonate, a mineral that plays an important role in ocean health and carbon storage.
Even careful scuba divers can damage coral reefs
Hours of diving videos and hundreds of survey responses reveal the common diver mistakes that can cause irreversible reef damage.
Great White Sharks Are Overheating
“The most acute, urgent crisis these animals face is from overfishing, and particularly now from bycatch.”
Got pesky, invasive corals? Blast ‘em away with air guns
Invasive corals are getting blown out of the water — with undersea air guns. While corals around the world are dying in vast numbers due to ocean acidification, climate change, overfishing and disease, invasive counterparts such as sun corals are taking over biodiversity hotspots.
US 'God squad' waives environmental protections for oil drilling in Gulf of Mexico
Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth said exempting oil drilling was a matter of national security.
Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds
Chronic ocean heating is fuelling a “staggering and deeply concerning” loss of marine life, a study has found , with fish levels falling by 7.2% from as little as 0.1C of warming per decade.
Hawai’i Coral Reefs Lose Chance at Legal Personhood
Can a coral reef be a person? It might sound absurd, but over the last 20 years, ecosystems around the world have been granted legal personhood, giving them stronger legal protections than existing regulations offer.
