Sharks and rays have been swimming through the oceans for millions of years – but we still don’t really know where.
Scientists are working closely with anglers to track the lives of sharks in English waters.
Overfishing and poor enforcement are just two reasons marine ecosystems are struggling to recover.
Scientists went to the heart of the El Niño pattern to learn from living and fossil corals. The results show El Niño’s intensifying coincides with global warming.
The discovery challenges a long-held assumption about where and when whales feed – and could help us better protect them.
From global temperature records to drought risk in New Zealand, the developing climate pattern could have far-reaching consequences.
By late June, the animals should be well and truly aggregating. In short, the cuttlefish have simply failed to turn up.
Biodiversity policies fail because governments lack the safeguards, accountability mechanisms and political commitment needed to implement them consistently.
Communities and entrepreneurs are experimenting with ways to turn this nuisance into a valuable resource.
Australian scientists are exploring ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere – using our oceans.
As part of our research we interviewed and followed hundreds of scuba divers.
The full picture of potential consequences of the UK’s marine heatwaves is only just starting to emerge.
Most of the heat from global warming ends up in the oceans, not the atmosphere.
What happens in the deep ocean might seem far removed from your everyday life. A new study shows otherwise.
More than 90% of the heat trapped by greenhouses goes into the ocean. But what happens in the oceans doesn’t stay there.
Scientists have identified sertraline — the active ingredient in Zoloft and dozens of other antidepressants — in the brain tissue of hammerhead sharks caught off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.
A dip in anchovy stocks is not only vital for Peru’s economy, but also essential for supporting fish farming and food production worldwide.
So far, about 10% of the ocean has formal protection as countries work toward the 30x30 goal, but many areas are still protected on paper only.
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.
