Ordered kingfish sashimi recently? A parasite can infect some fish, yet they still look and taste the same when raw.
Amid renewed debate over bottom trawling, decades of marine research suggest the balance between fishing and conservation needs revisiting.
Detailed data is useful for understanding and addressing environmental effects on people’s lives in ways that become difficult or impossible if only the broadest and blurriest picture is developed.
A newly drafted Pittsburgh Steelers player asked whether the city’s rivers are safe for swimming. A water researcher explains what ‘swimmable’ really means regarding the three rivers.
As sea ice melts, more of the Arctic Ocean opens up. A former ambassador explains how this treaty creates time for scientists to figure out what lives there.
When people harness the logic of natural selection, they can often find efficient and effective ways to solve complex problems.
Bottom trawling operates by dragging large, weighted nets across the ocean floor, sweeping up most of the life they encounter along the way and destroying habitats.
Combining more than 15,000 reports from 36 states, researchers estimate that recreational fishing puts $3 billion worth of food on Americans’ tables each year.
The whaling industry was wildly profitable, and decimated whale populations around the world until it was banned in the 1980s.
