New study reveals how tiny marine algae survive phosphorus starvation. Scientists at the Marine Biological Association (MBA) and the University of Exeter have uncovered a key mechanism that helps diatoms […]
Navigating tricky trade-offs in busy seas. Study shows how ‘Blue Justice’ is key to delivering fairer and more equitable use of marine space. As resource demands continue to grow and […]
Microplastics pose a human health risk in more ways than one. New study shows that microplastics in the natural environment are colonised by pathogenic and antimicrobial resistant bacteria. The study team […]
PML and IBM unveil AI for ocean health. Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) is pleased to announce the release of an innovative AI ‘foundation model’ for observing Earth’s oceans, in collaboration […]
Diatoms reveal survival strategy under nutrient co-limitation. New research reveals a hierarchy of nutrient stress responses in marine diatoms faced with nitrogen and phosphorus co-limitation. Scientists at the Marine Biological Association […]
How plastic pollution may influence antimicrobial resistance. New study reveals an alarming number of mechanisms throughout the life-cycle of plastic that could enhance or spread antimicrobial resistance. Plastic pollution, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) […]
Light threat is not so light for some static marine organisms. New study reveals harmful influence of artificial light at night on the immobile species, the snakelocks anemone. This beautiful […]
Scottish shrimp study illuminates new potential for bait-less fishing. Fishing pots fitted with LED lights catch significantly more shrimp and fish, new research shows. In the new study, by the University […]
Climate cost of global trawling still uncertain. The amount of carbon released by seabed fishing worldwide is uncertain and must be urgently investigated, researchers say. Convex Seascape Survey scientists are studying […]
A breeding ground for disease-causing bacteria: Marine Plastic Pollution New study reveals for the first time that particle type affects colonisation, enrichment and spread of both antimicrobial-resistant and pathogenic (disease-causing) […]
Oyster reefs once thrived along Europe’s coasts – now they’re gone. Oysters once formed extensive reefs along much of Europe’s coastline — but these complex ecosystems were destroyed over a […]
Falmouth hosts first UK Bluefin Tuna Championship. The inaugural UK Bluefin Tuna Championship was held in Falmouth this weekend (September 28 & 29). The event was the first ever catch-and-release […]
Urban seagulls still prefer seafood. Seagull chicks raised on an “urban” diet still prefer seafood, new research shows. University of Exeter scientists studied herring gull chicks that had been rescued […]
British shellfish and seaweed farms could provide valuable habitats for coastal fish species, according to new research. Shellfish and seaweed farming offer potentially sustainable food sources and are increasingly recognised […]
UK marine scientists’ bright idea protects sea turtles. British scientists have come-up with a bright idea that could help save the Mediterranean’s threatened sea turtles. Every year an estimated 40,000[1] […]
Drifting crustaceans could hold key to climate change. The vast quantity of tiny animals in the global ocean could play a vital role in slowing climate change, scientists say. The […]
Tens of thousands of endangered sharks and rays caught off Congo. Tens of thousands of endangered sharks and rays are caught by small-scale fisheries off the Republic of the Congo […]
Ocean circulation, ice melt and increasing tourism could all be contributing to Arctic microplastics. A new study measured microplastic concentrations in the highly productive Barents Sea and suggest that ocean […]
Call to protect whales and dolphins at Indian Ocean hotspot. A remote part of the Indian Ocean is a hotspot for whales and dolphins, prompting researchers to call for a […]
