Warming oceans have decimated marine parasites — but that’s not a good thing. More than a century of preserved fish specimens offer a rare glimpse into long-term trends in parasite […]
A long-term study of Hawaiian coral species provided a surprisingly optimistic view of how they might survive warmer and more acidic oceans resulting from climate change. Study authors, including researchers […]
Study says ice age could help predict oceans’ response to global warming. A team of scientists led by a Tulane University oceanographer and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has […]
Oceans under pressure: warming seas weaken Earth’s greatest carbon sink, threatening marine life and livelihoods. Earth’s natural defences are losing strength as temperatures rise, major new report warns. The planet’s […]
WWF announces Art for Your Oceans Selling Exhibition at Sotheby’s, London. WWF and Artwise curators in association with Sotheby’s are excited to announce Art For Your Oceans, a selling exhibition of specially commissioned […]
Pioneering research shows sea life will struggle to survive future global warming. A new study highlights how some marine life could face extinction over the next century, if human-induced global […]
‘Open gates’ in warming Arctic are expanding salmon range. New research has connected warming ocean temperatures to higher Pacific salmon abundance in the Canadian Arctic, an indicator that climate change […]
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 […]
Rivers rapidly warming and losing oxygen, putting aquatic life at risk. Rivers are warming and losing oxygen faster than oceans, according to a Penn State-led study published on Sept. 14 […]
Warmer oceans increase risk of salmon bycatch in Pacific hake fishery. Rates of Chinook salmon bycatch in the Pacific hake fishery rise during years when ocean temperatures are warmer, a […]
Warmer water from the south, less cooling in the north and less ice. Together, they make life more difficult for Arctic marine species, says the Institute of Marine Research in […]
As oceans warm, snapping shrimp sound a warning. In a warming ocean, snapping shrimp might be the acoustic canary in the coal mine. Research published by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution […]
Deep ocean warming as climate changes. Much of the “excess heat” stored in the subtropical North Atlantic is in the deep ocean (below 700m), new research suggests. Oceans have absorbed […]
Ocean warming will damage commercial fisheries – new research. Warming of the oceans due to climate change will mean fewer productive fish species to catch in the future, according to […]
Study first to explore combined impacts of fishing and ocean warming on fish populations. The combined effect of rapid ocean warming and the practice of targeting big fish is affecting […]
Healthy Oceans Need Healthy Soundscapes Oceans were once filled with the sounds of nature, but overfishing, climate change and human noise have fundamentally changed the natural underwater “soundtrack”, researchers say. […]
Plymouth marine scientists call for urgent action to protect oceans. Marine scientists from Plymouth have contributed to a new international report calling for an urgent change in the way we […]
Impacts of climate change on oceans. The UN General Assembly (UNGA) adopted on 10 December two resolutions on Oceans and Law of the Seas and on Sustainable Fisheries. In this […]
Global assessment of ocean warming impacts. An international group of marine scientists has compiled the most comprehensive assessment of how ocean warming is affecting the mix of species in our […]
World Leaders convene to discuss the Health of Our Oceans. More than 30 Heads of State and Ministers, UN Representatives and Ambassadors from island nations around the globe will convene […]
