At one of the world’s cutting-edge kelp research field stations, USC Wrigley Marine Science Center, scientists are looking for ways to save the planet.
Diatoms are the most important producers of plant biomass in the ocean and help to transport carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere into the deep ocean and thus regulate our climate. Because diatoms rely on silica rather than calcium carbonate to build their shells, they were previously thought to benefit from ocean acidification -- a chemical change in seawater triggered by the increasing uptake of CO2 that makes calcification more difficult. Scientists now show that diatoms, which are a type of plankton, are also affected. Analyses of data from field experiments and model simulations suggest that ocean acidification could drastically reduce diatom populations.
A 14-metre long humpback whale freed from entanglement in an illegal drift fishing net off the island of Mallorca has died on another Spanish beach more than 300 kilometres away.
More white sharks were detected in the waters off Massachusetts and Rhode Island in 2021 compared to previous years, according to data from two research organizations. But then again, the number of receivers identifying the sharks has increased, too.
Sundog, one of our very own but rarely seen North Atlantic Right Whales is 14 years old and she is tangled up with marine mammal rescuers standing by and ready at a moment's notice if or when she is spotted so they can try to release it.
In 1626, a ship foundered in stormy seas and wrecked on Cape Cod, where the passengers were aided by the local Indigenous population and the Pilgrims in nearby Plymouth. Now the most in-depth scientific analysis of timbers found more than 150 years ago has provided the best evidence yet that they belonged to the ill-fated […]
Coral reefs account for only about 0.2% of the seafloor, but their diversity rivals our rainforests, and more than one quarter of all marine species rely on them at some point in their lifetime. And humans need reefs too, with 1 billion of us depending on them for our food, security, and livelihoods.
New research has pinpointed four high-traffic areas in the Pacific Ocean that should be considered of high priority if conservation efforts focused on large pelagic fishes such as tuna, blue marlin and swordfish are to be successful.
Due to global warming, temperatures in the Arctic are climbing rapidly. As a result, the treeline for Siberian larch forests is steadily advancing to the north, gradually supplanting the broad expanses of tundra which are home to a unique mix of flora and fauna. Experts have now prepared a computer simulation of how these woods could spread in the future, at the tundra's expense.
Masters of disguise, the weaver fish buries itself in the sand where it digs in, so that only the eyes, mouth and its venomous black dorsal fin project
The Center for Whale Research says new video of the J pod's youngest member J59 shows that the calf is a female. The video was taken on May 26 in the Haro Strait between San Juan Island and Victoria. CWR says this is great news for the southern residents because the population's growth is limited by the number of reproductive-aged females. They say while J59 alone won't save the population they hope she can grow into adulthood and contribute to future generations of the southern whales.
