Tuna fishing devices drift through a third of oceans, harming corals, coasts: Study
A recent study reveals that drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs), widely used in tuna fishing, have spread to more than a third of the world’s oceans.  These devices harm ocean life and coastal communities, but weak rules and lack of accountability make it hard to manage them properly, some conservationists say. The study, published in […]

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Light is an extremely important factor in the oceans. It governs not only photosynthesis, but is also an important cue for vertically migrating zooplankton and needed for visual predation. The finding that 20% of the #oceans, especially at vital polar regions, are incre…

I remember using Opera Mini, even on an iPhone. Had a lousy data plan where they would throttle it massively at some point. Opera mini was the way I could continue surfing the web without all those megabytes of cruft (even back theb) https://mstdn.social/@osnews/114598061141994857

Marine robots are exploring the ocean's role in climate control
A robotic fleet in the Labrador Sea is tracking sinking carbon to reveal how the deep ocean helps regulate Earth’s climate.

Most oceans over the globe have experienced surface warming during the past century,
but the subpolar Atlantic is quite otherwise.
The sea surface temperature cooling trend to the south of Greenland,
-- known as the North Atlantic Warming Hole,
-- has raised debate over whether it is driven by the slowing of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
Here we use observations as a benchmark and climate models as a tool to demonstrate that only models sim…

Weakened Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation causes the historical North Atlantic Warming Hole - Communications Earth & Environment
The North Atlantic Warming Hole is tied to a weakened Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation during the past century, according to climate models and observation data.

I love stories like this. If I could live life over again, I'd be a research historian to work on projects like this. The mural and the car fascinate me, and I wish there were a way to recover the mural. #WW2 #history

One-fifth of global ocean has become darker, shrinking vital photic zones
More than one-fifth of the global ocean—an area spanning more than 75 million sq km—has been the subject of ocean darkening over the past two decades, according to new research.

Coral reef research dominated by rich countries, plagued with inequities: Study
Most of the world’s coral reefs, and the communities that directly depend on them, are in the tropics, so one might imagine the research on them being led by scientists and institutions based in tropical countries. The reality, however, is far different, a new study shows. Coral reef science is actually dominated by researchers from […]
