May 28, 2025 Tim Smyth, _Plymouth Marine Laboratory_ An ‘almost continuous’ marine heatwave state appears to be emerging around the UK. February 26, 2025 Lorenzo Alvarez-Filip, _Universidad
Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)_ and Ana Lilia Molina Hernández, _Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)_ A widely held view in ocean conservation asserts that parrotfish are key
to healthy coral reefs. But evidence suggests that the relationship is more complicated. February 23, 2025 Kelly Boden-Hawes, _The University of Western Australia_ and Nicole L. Jones, _The
University of Western Australia_ Warm, deeper water can shut down the ocean’s natural ‘air conditioner’, putting corals at even greater risk. February 6, 2025 Moninya Roughan, _UNSW Sydney_
Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth’s surface, and their warming is gravely concerning. So how much is down to climate change? December 4, 2024 Andreas Schwarz Meyer, _University of Cape
Town_ and Christopher Trisos, _University of Cape Town_ Climate change is heating up the ocean and marine species are starting to migrate in search of cooler water. This could throw
ecosystems out of balance and disrupt fisheries, leading to a food crisis. August 15, 2024 Juan Pablo D'Olivo, _Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)_; Ariaan Purich, _Monash
University_, and Jens Zinke, _University of Leicester_ Our work shows the ocean around Fiji is the hottest it has been in at least the past 653 years. August 14, 2024 Ryan Heneghan,
_Griffith University_ The rise of ‘pyrokaryotes’ could reduce the availability of fish humans eat, and hamper the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon emissions. June 26, 2024 Annalisa Bracco,
_Georgia Institute of Technology_ Coral reefs share genetic material across wide areas, with help from ocean currents. This ability is especially important during episodes like the mass
bleaching currently occurring. June 5, 2024 Jorge González-Cruz, _University at Albany, State University of New York_ Hardening electric transmission systems and monitoring ocean
temperatures are two key priorities. May 20, 2024 April J Burt, _University of Oxford_ and Noam Vogt-Vincent, _University of Hawaii_ Baby corals may hold promise for building coral reef
resilience in Seychelles and beyond. April 15, 2024 Nicolas Benjamin Lubitz, _James Cook University_ and David Schoeman, _University of the Sunshine Coast_ New research shows climate change
can drive sudden ocean cooling too. This can have devastating effects on marine life such as bull sharks and manta rays. April 9, 2024 Robert Paarlberg, _Harvard University_ Coastal fishing
communities in west Africa face increased poverty as fish stocks decline. April 16, 2024 Mary Hagedorn, _Smithsonian Institution_ 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. February 22, 2024 Kate Marie Quigley, _James Cook University_ The best
strategy to protecting Earth’s coral reefs is to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions. But in the meantime, we must urgently make corals more resilient. January 17, 2024 Thomas
Mortlock, _UNSW Sydney_ Even a small rise in sea level can have big impacts on coastal properties, so we must do all we can to limit the changes while taking them into account in coastal
land-use planning. November 22, 2023 Robby Irfany Maqoma, _The Conversation_ Severe bleaching is forecast to hit 12 Indonesian marine protected areas every year by 2030 – then spread to
other areas. Here’s what locals, experts and the government say we need to do to save them. November 10, 2023 Lauren Roman, _University of Tasmania_ Muttonbird ‘wrecks’ are becoming more
common. Despite speculation about many possible causes, the evidence points to changes in the Arctic ocean ecosystem from where the birds migrate to Australia. November 6, 2023 Richard
Aster, _Colorado State University_ The same instruments used to measure earthquakes pick up vibrations as ocean waves put pressure on the sea floor. Four decades of data tell a story about
ocean storms. October 16, 2023 Daniel Patrick Harrison, _Southern Cross University_ Australian is experimenting with marine cloud brightening to cool and shade the Great Barrier Reef. Here’s
how it works. September 12, 2023 Christopher Cornwall, _Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington_ and Wendy Nelson, _Auckland War Memorial Museum_ New Zealand’s kelp forests
provide food and shelter for many marine species of commercial and cultural value. But they are at risk from warming oceans, run-off from land and marine invaders.
