Pacific cod can’t rely on coastal safe havens for protection during marine heat waves. During recent periods of unusually warm water in the Gulf of Alaska, young Pacific cod in […]
Marine heat waves disrupt the ocean food web in the northeast Pacific Ocean. Marine heat waves in the northeast Pacific Ocean create ongoing and complex disruptions of the ocean food […]
Marine heat waves trigger shift in hatch dates and early growth of Pacific cod. Marine heat waves appear to trigger earlier reproduction, high mortality in early life stages and fewer […]
Coastal fisheries show resilience to marine heat waves Rutgers-led research found that marine heat waves – prolonged periods of unusually warm ocean temperatures – haven’t had a lasting effect on […]
Long periods of unusually warm ocean temperatures, known as marine heat waves, can have devastating effects on the marine ecosystem and have been linked to widespread coral bleaching, harmful algal […]
Coral reefs in peril from record-breaking ocean heat. Record breaking marine heatwaves will cause devastating mass coral bleaching worldwide in the next few years, according to a marine heatwaves coral […]
Scientists warn we must prepare for stronger heatwaves With record-high temperatures combined with extreme climate and weather patterns; researchers say we must help communities plan how best to reduce the […]
Large marine heatwave reaches Oregon and Washington coasts. A large marine heatwave that developed offshore has reached the coast of Oregon and Washington. It increases the potential for harmful algal […]
Fathoming the hidden heatwaves that threaten coral reefs. In April to May 2019, the coral reefs near the French Polynesian island of Moorea in the central South Pacific Ocean suffered […]
Heat resistant corals in western Pacific. Ocean warming is driving an increase in the frequency and severity of marine heatwaves, causing untold damage to coral reefs. Tropical corals, which live […]
Marine ingredients raw material usage rises, says IFFO. Based on the IFFO’s membership, which accounts for 55% of global marine ingredients production, for July 2022 that total raw material usage […]
Gulf of Alaska marine ecosystem still affected by heatwave impact. A new study provides a comprehensive and quantitative look at initial and lingering effects of the eastern Pacific marine heatwave […]
Little relief in the deep for heat-stressed corals. A team of NOAA scientists recently examined more than a thousand hot water events on coral reefs across the Pacific Ocean. Combining […]
U.S. researchers monitor impact of marine heatwave. U.S. researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are monitoring a new marine heatwave off the West Coast of the USA […]
Alaskan collaboration on fish stock abundance. Scientists in Alaska are collaborating with stakeholders to evaluate scenarios that predict changes in the distribution and abundance of commercially important fish and shellfish […]
Improving ocean observation through the EU project EuroSea The Marine Institute is one of 55 partners involved in EuroSea, a €12.6 million EU funded project which aims to significantly improve […]
U.S. and Canadian researchers have developed a new tool that incorporates projected changes in ocean climate onto specific fishery management areas. Now fishermen, resource managers, and policy-makers can use it […]
