In a global economy, passing laws to conserve forests, fisheries or other natural resources can simply shift demand for those goods to other countries or regions where they aren’t as well protected.
Field samples, satellite measurements and isotopic data have shed new light on corals’ eating habits.
As the vaquita porpoise heads towards extinction, new management measures in Mexico still may have missed the point – affecting not one but two critically endangered marine species.
Study shows mangrove forests along desert coasts have potential to lock up large amounts of carbon and buffer against rising seas.
Scientists say they’ve answered a long-held question of Darwin’s on why islands are so productive – an important step toward planning protections against the effects of climate change.
Over the past 80 years sardine and anchovy have become icons of modern-day marine biology, oceanography and climate research.
In a changing climate, ocean populations sometimes rise and fall in unpredictable waves. Scientists, managers and fishers must make economically and ecologically sound decisions based on long-term outlooks.
A new ecology study doesn’t focus on how people degrade the environment. Instead, it untangles the way physical factors in a pristine ecosystem drive the biology of what lives there.
We know that fishing has significant impacts on our oceans and the animals that live in them. Effects can range from habitat modification caused by bottom trawls, stock declines from overfishing or subtler…
Trawling – dragging heavy gear over ocean bottoms in search of fish near the sea floor – is arguably one of the most destructive human practices. Removing fish from the sea for an ever-hungry, growing…
