Kelp seaweed spores are being grown on small rocks and waste scallop shells as part of a trial exploring how to regenerate the UK’s coastal kelp forests.
Artificial lighting from cities illuminates coastal waters and can change the physiology and behaviour of marine organisms.
Huge blooms of brown seaweed have fouled Florida and Caribbean beaches almost every year over the past decade. They originate in Africa and South America. and are fueled by human activities.
In the design of marine protected areas, new research suggests that it might be better to start small in order to gain local trust and support that leads to larger long-term benefits.
Harmful algae blooms are an increasing problem in Florida. Once nutrients are in the water to fuel them, little can be done to stop the growth, and the results can be devastating for marine life.
Maerl beds are the coral reefs of the British Isles. But like their tropical counterparts, they're threatened by climate change.
