Human impact on the ocean will double by 2050, scientists warn
The seas have long sustained human life, but a new UC Santa Barbara study shows that rising climate and human pressures are pushing the oceans toward a dangerous threshold.

RNA viruses may differentially shape carbon recycling in the ocean
A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may disrupt how carbon and nutrients are recycled in the ocean, potentially altering the global carbon cycle.

Ocean-based carbon storage ramps up, bringing investment and concern
Capturing carbon to ship or funnel it offshore for storage in depleted marine oil and gas wells is gaining momentum as a proposed climate solution, even as it faces criticism. Across the globe, plans are afoot to launch multiple projects — such as in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and Southeast Asia — […]

The oceans are overheating—and scientists say a climate tipping point may be here
In 2023, the world’s oceans experienced the most intense and widespread marine heatwaves ever recorded, with some events persisting for over 500 days and covering nearly the entire globe. These searing ocean temperatures are causing mass coral bleaching and threatening fisheries, while also signaling deeper, system-wide climate changes.

Ocean currents can generate electricity, and our study shows Africa's seas have some of the strongest
The world's oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface. They're filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine renewable energy. Marine energy is much more predictable and reliable than many other forms of renewable energy because unlike the sun and wind, which regularly do not produce electricity, ocean currents never stop moving around the planet. New research has found that the eastern and south-eastern coas…

Record marine heat waves in 2023 covered 96% of oceans, lasted four times longer than average #ocean

Record marine heat waves in 2023 covered 96% of oceans, lasted four times longer than average
Heat waves aren't just getting worse on land, the majority of the world's oceans are experiencing record-breaking temperatures too. These marine heat waves are getting longer, more intense and reaching farther than ever before. In particular, 2023's marine heat waves (MHWs) exhibited the longest duration, widest extents, and highest intensities on record—and 2024 wasn't any better.

Sharks risk losing their bite as oceans turn acidic: Study
Sharks continually shed and regrow teeth throughout their lives, replacing worn or lost teeth with new ones. That makes them particularly good at catching prey. However, these top marine predators could lose their literal edge as ocean acidification damages their teeth and makes it harder to keep and replace them, a new study says. “Shark […]

David Attenborough's 'Ocean' exposes the unseen destruction of the seas
The new film “Ocean With David Attenborough” is both a breathtaking celebration of marine life and a sobering exposé of the industrial forces pushing the ocean toward collapse. With never-before-seen footage from mass coral bleaching to the violent destruction of bottom trawling, it reveals the hidden toll of human activity beneath the waves. But it’s also a story of hope that spotlights thriving marine reserves and the power of protection. Timed to World Oceans Day and the U.N. Ocean Co…
