There are so many fish in the ocean that if you took them out, important habitats and food sources for many creatures would be lost.
When ships sink, they add artificial structures to the seafloor that can quickly become diverse, ecologically important underwater communities.
Climate change and overfishing are depleting global fish stocks with clear implications for the food security future of billions of people.

Scientists found PFAS hot spots in Miami’s Biscayne Bay where the chemicals are entering coastal waters and reaching the ocean. Water samples point to some specific sources.
Blood isn’t sterile, and analyzing the bacteria in it could help assess the health of fish and prevent the collapse of their populations.
Sub-Saharan Africa is home to many weird and wonderful seahorses and pipefish. But they’re under threat.
Climate change is causing higher levels of stress in fish, and the resulting hormonal imbalances are fundamentally altering entire populations.
