Will 2026 be the year when coral reefs pass their tipping point? Tropical coral reefs cover less than 1% of the seafloor, yet support 25% of all marine species. They are […]
Coral bleaching in Mauritius. Authors: Anusha Devi Nawoor, PhD – Environmental Scientist, Tunley Environmental Nora von Xylander, PhD Coral reefs, often referred to as the ‘Oases in the Desert Ocean’, […]
Harnessing decades of ocean acidification research to shape marine carbon removal solutions. Drawing upon over two decades of research from leading ocean acidification experts, the Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) community shares vital lessons learned, in hopes […]
New research shows that ocean acidification is more advanced than previously thought. The findings, that were published ‘Ocean Acidification: Another Planetary Boundary Crossed’ for the journal Global Change Biology, highlight that the […]
PML Science urges accelerated action on ocean acidification at UN High-Level Ocean Retreat. Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) Director of Science, Professor Steve Widdicombe, participated in the United Nations’ High-Level Retreat on […]
Acidity of Antarctic waters could double by century’s end, threatening biodiversity. The acidity of Antarctica’s coastal waters could double by the end of the century, threatening whales, penguins and hundreds […]
Bringing the ocean into climate conversations. Scotland’s Climate Week is an annual event in Scottish Government’s Let’s Do Net Zero campaign which encourages individuals, communities and businesses to come together to show […]
Fish adapt to ocean acidification by modifying gene expression. Human-driven global change is challenging the scientific community to understand how marine species might adapt to predicted environmental conditions in the […]
NZ project extends ocean acidification monitoring network. A joint National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and Department of Conservation (DOC) project is extending New Zealand’s ocean acidification monitoring […]
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 […]
Rising CO2 levels will decrease fish diversity. Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the consequent changes created through ocean acidification will cause severe ecosystem effects, impacting reef-forming habitats and […]
