The murky world at the bottom of the oceans is now a little clearer, thanks to a new study that tracks the evolution of marine sediment layers across hundreds of millions of years.
Officials have shut down early the remote krill fishery near Antarctica after trawling for the tiny crustacean—a vital food source for whales that also helps fight climate change—exceeded the seasonal catch limit for the ...
Chemicals released from car tires as they wear down are washing into rivers, estuaries and the sea and they could be disrupting life at the base of the marine food web, according to a new study.
Whales of all shapes and sizes play a significant role in the health of marine ecosystems. About 50% of the air humans breathe is produced by the ocean, thanks to phytoplankton and whale waste. The Whale Poop Loop is the ...

Trawling near Antarctica for krill—a crustacean central to the diet of whales and a critical buffer to global warming—has surged to a record and is fast approaching a never before reached seasonal catch limit that would trigger ...
In a first-of-its-kind experiment tracing evolution across 25 generations, scientists have discovered that marine copepods—the tiny crustaceans at the heart of the ocean food web—rely on a largely unknown biological toolkit ...
A conservation project led by UNSW scientists is rebuilding lost underwater pastures within the city's harbor—and at the same time helping to recover an endangered seahorse population.
