Why are some fish warm-blooded? Predatory sharks gain speed advantage, study finds. New research from marine biologists offers answers to a fundamental puzzle that had until now remained unsolved: why […]
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 […]
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 […]
Warming seas might also look less colourful to some fish: Here’s why that matters. When marine biologist Eleanor Caves of the University of Exeter thinks back to her first scuba […]
Annual health check for the Atlantic on the Ocean Climate Survey. Scientists from the Marine Institute, Maynooth University and the National University of Ireland Galway were recently aboard the RV […]
Predicting and managing harmful algal blooms impacts in the coastal seas of Europe now and in the future. Over the last three years, researchers from 12 institutes across seven European […]
Ocean warming threatening commercial shellfish. Ocean warming is paradoxically driving bottom-dwelling invertebrates – including sea scallops, blue mussels, surfclams and quahogs that are valuable to the shellfish industry – into […]
Campaign Connects us to the Ocean Through Art Activities – The Marine Institute’s Meet the Explorers Team primary school campaign connects us to the ocean through art activities The Meet the Explorers […]
New study projects ocean warming impact on Antarctic krill. Ocean warming is likely to alter the distribution and lifecycle of ecologically and commercially important Antarctic krill over the rest of […]
Climate Change Increases Fisheries Conflict Risk – A team of fisheries scientists and marine policy experts, led by a University of Rhode Island researcher, examined how climate change is affecting […]
Climate change impacting upon understanding of MPAs. Climate change and warming seas are transforming tropical coral reefs and undoing decades of knowledge about how to protect these delicate and vital […]
Study shows Pacific cod eggs vulnerable to temperature changes. The 2013 to 2016 marine heatwave—known as “The Blob”—is the largest warm anomaly ever recorded in the North Pacific, according to […]
Explorers Super Hero Pop Art & Creative Writing Competition – The Marine Institute’s Explorers Education Programme yesterday (Monday 27th January) launched the Explorers Super Hero Pop Art & Creative Writing […]
Marine Protected Areas must be mobile. World leaders are currently updating the laws for international waters that apply to most of the world’s ocean environment. This provides a unique opportunity, […]
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 […]
Climate change is reshaping marine ecology. Climate change is reshaping communities of fish and other sea life, according to a pioneering study on how ocean warming is affecting the mix […]
Rock Sole in Alaska may do well in warmer sea. Northern rock sole stocks may benefit from warming in the Bering Sea, a new NOAA Fisheries study suggests. Scientists found […]
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 […]
International forum on climate change effects on fisheries The ClimeFish project together with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), is organising the 2020 International Forum on the Effects of Climate […]
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 […]
