The World Shipping Council is out with its updated report on the loss of containers at sea.

Recreational activity damaging systems which play critical role in coastal protection, building climate resilience and providing habitats

The marine and coastal areas along the eastern shores of Africa contain rich, biodiverse, and under-threat flora and fauna unique for their biodiversity. The region hosts pristine coral reefs, carbon-rich mangrove forests, and sheltered seagrass beds, which support an abundance of marine life including important fish species, sharks and rays, turtles, sea birds, and marine mammals. Moreover, all along the coasts of the West Indian Ocean (WIO) region, coastal communities derive their socioeconomic livelihoods from the sea and its products.

Should people be allowed to drive vehicles on beaches? It's a divisive question in Clutha District. As well as hearing from ecology experts, Bruce Munro talks to those up-in-arms on both sides of the argument and discovers a surprising, potentially flammable, point of agreement.

Bottom trawling is often singled out by scientists and activists as one of the world's most destructive fishing techniques. It's prevalent in European waters. Nothing escapes the vast nets: fish, crustaceans, but also coral reefs and seagrass beds. Wherever trawlers go, the ocean floor turns into a desert. In this edition of Down to Earth we head to Spain, where bottom trawling is rife, even in marine protected areas.

Just a few days ahead of the 2nd UN Ocean Conference taking place in Lisbon from June 27th to July 1st, the European Commission issued a communiqué that, among other things, strengthens the block’s position against deep-sea mining.

The giant floating restaurant that graced Hong Kong's waterfront for decades has capsized during a tow in the South China Sea, and it may or may not have sunk to the seabed.

The untapped trove of metals on the ocean floor might be the key to a greener future—or an environmental catastrophe.

Ocean temperatures are steadily increasing worldwide due to rising greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. A significant impact has been a sharp decline in fish populations, which affects more than just our eating habits. The warming oceans threaten global ecosystems, economies, and our way of life.

Greenhouse gas emissions from coastal engineering do not only involve emissions from (dredging) vessels, but also from impacting sediments and coastal ecosystems.

The global offshore wind industry is set to see a surge of over $100 billion in investments and installations this decade. This will come as part of the world countries’ transition to cleaner sources of energy to meet their climate goals.

Using DNA data, researchers have examined seawater to find not only new species of bacteria, but also previously unknown natural products that may one day prove beneficial.

A new screening tool designed to maximise the repurposing of oil and gas infrastructure has been established.

The Humboldt Current Ecosystem (HCE) is one of the most productive marine ecosystems, sustaining one of the largest fishing industries in the world.

KARACHI: Participants at a workshop underscored the need for collaboration with communities as well as among organisations to help combat salinity affecting coastal and irrigated agriculture areas of the country.

Algae can be utilized as a part of the mitigation strategy to reduce concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere associated with greenhouse gases and the global climate crisis. Here we discuss what makes algae so special, the global climate crisis, and the part algae can play in helping to combat the effects of global warming.

A long-term, increasingly warming pool of water in the northeast Pacific was recently discovered. It measures three million square kilometers, resulted from increased anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions, and is conducive to extreme heatwaves in the northeast Pacific.

An Ocean Infinity top executive held a meeting with Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong here on Monday (June 20), as the marine robotics company shared its readiness to resume the search operation for the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 based on a "no cure, no fee" deal.

An algorithm-aided analysis of satellite images reveals the size, distribution and sources of oil slicks at sea

North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) has developed a new screening tool to help maximise the repurposing of oil and gas infrastructure for energy transition projects.

The world’s coastlines are at the forefront of climate change. That’s because they’re constantly changing, and respond quickly to changes in climate.

Shipping joint venture Proman Stena Bulk has taken delivery of the first of six 49,900 dwt methanol-powered dual-fuel medium-range tankers.

England could face around 35cm of sea level rise by 2050 and is nearly certain to see close to 1m sea level rise by the end of the century.

Wind turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa has released details of new wind Lidar technology now installed on the company’s SG 14-222 DD offshore wind turbine.

Plans for a seawall that would have protected 18 properties from coastal erosion will not progress after owners of two of the properties chose not to contribute to the cost.
