A stubborn Russian fishing industry targeting the beaked redfish threatens to eliminate the unique creature from the waters near Greenland and Iceland, where it thrives.

Last year's Tonga volcanic eruption produced the fastest underwater flows ever recorded, scientists say.

Three major water companies illegally discharged sewage hundreds of times last year on days when it was not raining, a BBC investigation suggests. The practice, known as "dry spilling", is banned because it can lead to higher concentrations of sewage in waterways.

Real-time shifts in marine ecosystems and species demand “climate-ready” fisheries. This new research will inform fisheries management.

Deep-sea mining has emerged as a promising solution to the world’s growing critical minerals needs. But are the hidden treasures of the deep a truly viable source of precious materials?

South Africa is renowned for having one of the world’s biggest populations of great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias). Substantial declines have been observed, however, in places where the sharks normally gather on the coast of the Western Cape province. Sharks congregate at these locations to feed, interact socially, or rest.

House price growth in the UK’s countryside towns is outperforming the national average, while coastal areas are failing to match the same pace.

What happens if we alter the world’s oceans to fight climate change? More than 200 scientists signed a letter saying it’s time to find out.

A new study has found that important coastal ecosystem hotspots like mangroves, coastal marshes and coral reefs can be devastated by just two degrees Celsius of global warming.

A major legal battle over the extension of 30-year mining rights has been averted

An international team of marine scientists has studied the DNA of family groups from four different whale species to estimate their mutation rates. Using the newly determined rates, the group found that the number of humpback whales in the North Atlantic before whaling was 86 percent lower than earlier studies suggested.

A study finds that some of the sculptures in the Shore Temple are deteriorating due to sea exposure and salt accumulation. Conservation experts suggest solutions to protect the monument.

"We conclude that the available datasets do not show clear forcing/response linkages between long-term shoreline change and changes in waves and storm surge over the past three decades."

Tally, a Kemp’s ridley, traversed the ocean in the Gulf Stream and was nursed back to health in Wales

Although concerns are mounting about the economic effect coastal erosion will have on East Anglia, some believe the changing geography could create new opportunities for businesses.

Research published today in Nature warns that rising seas will devastate coastal habitats, using evidence from the last Ice Age.

Much of the world’s natural coastline is protected by living habitats, most notably mangroves in warmer waters and tidal marshes closer to the poles. These ecosystems support fisheries and wildlife, absorb the impact of crashing waves and clean up pollutants. But these vital services are threatened by global warming and rising sea levels.

When soaring temperatures, extreme weather and catastrophic wildfires hit the headlines, people start asking for quick fixes to climate change. The U.S. government just announced the first awards from a US$3.5 billion fund for projects that promise to pull carbon dioxide out of the air. Policymakers are also exploring more invasive types of geoengineering − the deliberate, large-scale manipulation of Earth’s natural systems.

Iceland is one of just three countries that allow commercial whaling, along with Norway and Japan, in the face of fierce criticism from environmentalists and animal rights' defenders.

Despite countries pouring billions of dollars into "protecting" communities, flood-related disasters are becoming more frequent and are projected to become even more severe as the climate crisis worsens.

From the Maui wildfires to ultrahigh ocean temperatures, climate change is leaving its devastating mark on the Earth. It’s but a taste of the pain to come.

The ocean will play a key role in efforts to tackle the climate crisis, according to scientists and IPCC. The use of "negative emissions technologies" to enhance carbon sequestration and storage in the ocean is increasingly being discussed. In a study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, RIFS researchers Lina Röschel and Barbara Neumann describe the challenges that these technologies present.

Every year, as July draws to a close, Norio Terada and his fellow oyster farmers submerge hundreds of scallop shells strung on wire rings into the waters of Lake Hamana.

A petition signed by 9,800 are asking Welsh Government to fund £24m scheme

Geologists from Estonia collected sediment samples from the seabed of the Gulf of Finland during an international expedition. Further analysis of the samples will reveal the location and quantity of manganese nodules, rock-like formations that contain metals necessary for the transition to renewable energy.
