Southern right whale populations are being restored between Australia and New Zealand, new research has shown. “This new…
Ocean acidification is often referred to as the “evil twin” of climate change. Greenhouse gasses are doing more than just warming the globe. Increasing C0₂ levels are also changing the chemical make-up…
Some of the first evidence that climate change is negatively impacting the ocean carbon sink has been identified. Researchers…
Global average sea levels continue to rise but readings vary greatly depending on when and where they are taken, a leading expert on coastal impacts of climate change has said, warning that selective sea…
We may have to catch fewer small oceanic “forage” fish like sardines and anchovies in some ocean areas in order to protect…
Ocean acidity has increased by around a third since the 18th century. This has resulted in the weakening of California mussel…
National and international marine researchers have identified the key prey of western rock lobster larvae: a very specific…
Subsurface warming in the ocean will exacerbate the melting of ice sheets at a greater rate than previously though. This…
The genome of a coral that makes up a major part of the Great Barrier Reef has been sequenced for the first time, Australian…
Seawater: it’s just water from the sea, right? In fact, the thermodynamic definition of “seawater” has just been updated…
The ocean does not just circulate clockwise and anti-clockwise as is traditionally though, but flows east-west in bands through…
Given the growing evidence of catastrophic extinctions in the world’s oceans due to climate change and overfishing (see, for example, the recent IPSO report) one would expect a groundswell of demand for…
An international meeting of marine scientists brought together to consider the cumulative impact of multiple stressors on…
With the release of the US Government’s “Report regarding the causes of the Macondo Well blowout”, it may be time to take another look at whether Australian legislation can prevent a Deepwater Horizon…
Male cleaner fish will punish female cleaner fish if they try and steal food by taking a bite out of the bigger fish they…
Changes in salinity may explain why red tide algae in the Gulf of Mexico becomes toxic as it moves onshore, killing marine…
Google Earth satellite images have been used to observe the behavioural interactions between predator and prey in the Great…
Sawfish use their long serrated noses to find and dismember hapless fish, an Australian researcher has discovered, debunking a previous assumption that the saw was a simple foraging tool. A sawfish can…
The chair of an audit into the highly politically charged issue of NSW marine park zoning has vowed to ignore the politics and stick to the science as he conducts his review. The Shooters and Fishers Party…
