An instrument on the Europa Clipper mission might be able to detect biological cells from space.
Just as the world’s zoos breed critically endangered animals in captivity to repopulate the wild, scientists are building a global effort to freeze corals for reef restoration.
Egg cases of sharks and rays can be found washed up on the shore. Citizen science data helps scientists understand the life cycles of these marine animals and how to best conserve them.
The sustainable and cost-saving structure could dissipate more than 95 percent of incoming wave energy using a small fraction of the material normally needed.
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.
Hi-tech green LED lights attached to fishing gear can act as a deterrent to turtles and help reduce bycatch by approximately 40%.
Even when female North Atlantic right whales survive entanglement in fishing gear, it may affect their future ability to breed, increasing the pressure on this critically endangered species.
Artificial reef stars have been added to damaged coral reefs in Sulawesi, Indonesia. A new study shows that within just four years, restored reefs are thriving as much as healthy reefs.
Despite advanced technology and search techniques the rugged seafloor can hide objects much larger than a plane.
The toll on wildlife from illegal fishing, bycatch and entanglement in fishing gear is likely underestimated, because it doesn’t account for ‘dark’ fishing vessels, a new study finds.
