Climate change to reshape European Fisheries: New study maps “winners and losers” First multi-model analysis shows dramatic shifts in commercial fish stocks by the end of the century A new study, […]
Antarctic sea is loaded with unknown viruses. Out of thousands of marine viruses that were discovered in Antarctic waters in the past two years, 75 percent were new to science. […]
High and low tide cause low and high methane fluxes. Methane, a strong greenhouse gas that naturally escapes from the bottom of the North Sea, is affected by the pressure […]
Final dust settles slowly in the deep sea. ‘Dust clouds’ at the bottom of the deep sea, that will be created by deep-sea mining activities, descend at a short distance […]
Herring arrives earlier in the Wadden Sea due to climate change. Due to the changing climate, young herring arrive in the Wadden Sea earlier and earlier in spring. That is […]
Impact of Climate Change on Marine Life Much Bigger Than Previously Known Fish and invertebrate animals are far more affected by warmer and more acidic seawater than was previously known. […]
Significant impact of global warming on biodiversity in European seas. Over the past 40 years, the Atlantic Ocean has experienced a tropicalisation of its communities, with an increase in the […]
Unexpected biodiversity on the ocean floor. Hydrothermal vents and manganese nodule fields in the deep oceans contain more biodiversity than expected. That is shown by the thesis that NIOZ-marine biologist […]
Chinese shellfish culture benefits wading birds. On the mudflats along the Chinese coasts where non-destructive forms of aquaculture are practiced, shorebirds like knots and bar-tailed godwits are doing relatively well. […]
Changing climate creates more noise in the oceans. Due to the changing climate, the underwater world is getting ever noisier. That is the main conclusion of a study that was […]
A crab is never just a crab. A herring in the North Sea, a crab in the Wadden Sea or an anemone fish on a coral reef, … biologists like […]
Warmest June ever recorded in Wadden Sea; concerns over cockle mortality. In the past six summers, there were as many as five with high mortality among cockles in the Wadden […]
Causes of 30 years of sea level rise worldwide identified. Sea levels are rising almost everywhere on Earth. Satellites measure this very precisely. Sea level rise along the world’s coasts […]
Sargassum blooms and marine plastic bring potentially unhealthy bacteria to the beach. A huge mass of seaweed filled with plastic and bacteria could have unhealthy effects on the coasts of […]
Salt marshes protect the coast – but not where it is needed most. Salt marshes provide multiple ecosystem services, one of those is protection of the coast against flooding. This […]
Construction of innovative Dutch research vessel On 16 December 2022, the contract for the construction of the new Dutch ocean-going research vessel, the RV Anna Weber-van Bosse, was signed on […]
Project to assess impact of offshore wind farms on marine ecosystem. Bangor University scientists are leading the research for the new £2m ECOWind-ACCELERATE project. Bangor University scientists are leading the […]
Microbes don’t descend with plastic particles into the deep-sea. Research has shown that microbes on floating plastic particles can be transported over long horizontal distances. New research carried out by […]
Research exploring environmental impact of N. Sea sand extraction. In the coming years, a broad consortium of research institutes and companies will be working on the ecological optimisation of sand […]
European fishing communities face their own specific climate risks. Of all European fisheries and coastal communities, the ones in the UK and the Eastern Mediterranean have the highest risk of […]
