A new study of coral reefs in Papua New Guinea shows ocean acidification simplifies coral structure, making crucial habitat less appealing to certain fish species. While much media attention has ...

We're already seeing the effects as coral reefs collapse, oyster beds disappear and tiny creatures that are important food sources get smaller and weaker. Sign our petition to help protect ocean life ...

There are numerous effects on fisheries, including impaired growth and survival of shellfish; loss of essential nursery grounds such as reefs; and shifts in prey abundance. On the current path, ocean ...

Scientists have developed a novel tool designed to protect and conserve coral reefs by providing them with an abundance of feeding opportunities.

How pulling carbon out of the ocean may help remove it from the air How pulling carbon out of the ocean may help remove it from the air Scientists are trying to save coral reefs. Here's what's ...

Coral reef ecosystems are generally high in biodiversity, most often found in shallow tropical seas, and are threatened by factors including ocean acidification, global warming and sea level rise.

Ocean acidification is the "reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2)," and it's a large threat to coral reefs especially ...

Coral reefs support fisheries, protect coastal communities, and sustain tourism worldwide. However, rising ocean temperatures and acidification from the climate crisis threaten these ecosystems.

New study reveals that coral reefs in the Gulf of Eilat experienced a surprising 3,000-year "shutdown" in growth, from about 4,400 to 1,000 years ago, likely due to a temporary drop in sea level that ...

Scientists have developed a novel tool designed to protect and conserve coral reefs by providing them with an abundance of feeding opportunities.

Scientists recover the CTD during choppy seas from the stern of the University of Miami's research vessel F.G. Walton Smith. The CTD is an instument used to collect water samples and measure ...
