Volcanic bubbles offer insight into coral reefs decline in acidic seas

Volcanic CO2 seeps in Papua New Guinea have acted as a 'time machine,' allowing scientists to predict the fate of coral reefs. Research shows that by 2100, global reefs will be less complex, recover slowly, and be dominated by fleshy algae due to ocean acidification.

Submesoscale: Subsurface ocean ‘storms’ linked to rapid Antarctic ice melt

UC Irvine and NASA researchers have identified stormlike circulation patterns beneath Antarctic ice shelves that are causing aggressive melting. These "submesoscale" features drive warm water intrusion, accelerating the melt of key glaciers like Thwaites and Pine Island.

Can the ocean help capture carbon through mCDR?

As the world struggles to slow global warming, scientists and policymakers are looking to the oceans for help.

The oceanic mantle: Continental peels fuel ocean volcanoes

New research reveals continents "peel" from below, feeding enriched material into the oceanic mantle. This process, driven by slow mantle waves, explains why distant ocean volcanoes contain continental chemical signatures, solving a long-standing geological puzzle.

Climate change prevention: Fresh water in the Southern Ocean is stopping CO2 release

An AWI study suggests why the Southern Ocean is still absorbing CO2, defying climate models. Increased low-salinity surface water is creating a barrier, temporarily trapping carbon-rich water below and preserving the vital carbon sink.

Dynamically installed anchors for offshore floating wind turbines

Gain insights from Dr Jon Tore Lieng, Managing Director of Deep Sea Anchors AS, as he discusses more about Dynamically Installed Anchors for offshore floating wind turbines.

Syros is emerging as a European hub for maritime innovation through EIT Digital Summer school

The island of Syros in Greece is upping its efforts in Europe’s maritime innovation efforts with a partnership between the University of Aegean and EIT Digital.

The European Ocean Pact: Unlocking a resilient and prosperous future

Charlina Vitcheva at the European Commission leads us through the European Ocean Pact policy, which unlocks a resilient and prosperous future.

Finding space for safe and sustainable pelagic fishing

North Atlantic Fishing Company guide us on finding space for safe and sustainable pelagic fishing in this special marine focus.

Artificial oxygenation in coastal waters

As oxygen levels in coastal waters worldwide continue to plummet, researchers are exploring whether artificial oxygenation could offer a lifeline to marine ecosystems on the brink.

Global agriculture, marine, and coastal areas focus

Open Access Government addresses salient global environmental challenges, in particular, on the topics of international agriculture, marine and coastal protection.

The Finnish connection: Regional efforts to protect the Baltic Sea

Rüdiger Strempel, Executive Secretary of HELCOM (1), reflects on Finland’s special connection with HELCOM and the organisation’s regional efforts to protect the Baltic Sea.

The fishing industry’s role in protecting the marine environment

Phil Haslam, Managing Director of the North Atlantic Fishing Company, argues that the fishing industry must delicately balance its essential food production role with the need to protect the marine environment.

The triple planetary crisis of pollution, biodiversity loss and climate change

Read about the unique challenges coastal regions face from human activities and the combined crisis of pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change.

Modernising cadet training for the future

The UK maritime industry is undergoing an important change that hopes to modernise the training development of seafarers, particularly cadets, through the Maritime and Coastguard Agency's (MCA) Cadet Training and Modernisation (CT&M) Programme.

Marine fish species facing increased extinction risk

Researchers have revealed a significant increase in the extinction risk facing marine teleost fish species worldwide.

Why protecting the ocean is a key priority for the EU

Charlina Vitcheva, Director-General at DG MARE, European Commission, explains why protecting the ocean is a crucial priority for the European Union.
