Hundreds of volunteers will gather at Ponce Inlet to protect Florida's endangered sea turtles and marine life through a community beach cleanup. The event is part of a nearly 30-year mission to keep Volusia County's coastline pristine.
Young cancer patients in Las Vegas now have an underwater adventure waiting for them during medical visits. The new "Under the Sea" exam room turns clinical appointments into treasure hunts complete with hidden symbols and colorful marine life.
Engineers at UNLV created lifelike 3D-printed sea lion pelvis models that let vets practice blood draws without using sick animals or cadavers. The innovation is helping save sea lions suffering from toxic algae blooms along California's coast.
A newly discovered 66-million-year-old marine predator with razor-sharp teeth is revealing an ancient ocean ecosystem unlike anything we see today. The fossil from Morocco shows seas once teemed with diverse giant hunters, each specialized for different prey.
Scientists just proved that spinning fire whirls can clean up ocean oil spills twice as fast as traditional methods while producing 40% less toxic smoke. This breakthrough could transform how we protect coastlines and marine life from future disasters.
Scientists using artificial intelligence discovered that floating algae blooms have expanded dramatically across the world's oceans over the past 20 years, marking a major shift in marine ecosystems. The findings could help protect coastal communities and marine life from harmful algae while supporting healthier fisheries.
A new offshore wind farm in the Netherlands is installing 66 artificial reef cubes made from recycled materials to protect and enhance ocean habitats. The project shows how clean energy and environmental protection can work hand in hand.
An animal rescue charity in Scotland has pioneered a gentler way to feed orphaned seal pups, using bottles instead of throat tubes. The breakthrough method has already helped three premature grey seals recover and return to the wild.
A Scottish animal rescue center has developed a breakthrough bottle-feeding technique that helps orphaned seal pups recover with less stress. The method has already helped three premature grey seals return to the wild.
California's ocean waters are thriving again after one of the worst fishing disasters in history nearly wiped out entire species. Over 90 groundfish stocks have bounced back through smart regulations that gave marine life the space to recover.
A groundbreaking European project is creating an open-source tool that helps offshore wind farms protect marine life while powering our future. The COMPASS platform will guide developers in building wind energy that's good for the planet and the ocean.
A company in southern France just partnered with global ocean cleanup leader 4ocean to pull thousands of kilograms of plastic from the world's waterways. The move brings professional cleanup operations closer to the Mediterranean, where millions of tonnes of plastic threaten marine life each year.
A massive underwater sculpture off Japan's coast is designed to transform into a thriving coral reef, offering marine life a new home while protecting fragile natural habitats. Artist Jason deCaires Taylor created the piece to heal ocean ecosystems while reconnecting islanders with their coastal heritage.
Scientists are reviving damaged European coastlines with seagrass meadows, oyster reefs, and innovative erosion solutions that bring back marine life while helping communities adapt to climate change. From Arctic Norway to Mediterranean Portugal, the Climarest initiative is proving nature can bounce back with the right care.
Fishers along India's coast are cutting their own nets to save whale sharks, the world's largest fish. More than 1,000 of these gentle giants have been rescued since communities turned from hunters to protectors.
Two elusive dolphin species rarely seen near shore were photographed in the same day off Port Macquarie, giving scientists valuable new data. The stunning images of Risso's and pantropical spotted dolphins will help researchers learn more about these mysterious deep-water creatures.
Scientists turned expired canned salmon from the 1970s into a time machine, discovering that increasing parasites actually signal thriving ocean health. What sounds gross is actually great news for Alaska's marine life.
Offshore wind turbines in the Dutch North Sea are doing double duty—generating clean energy above water while creating thriving underwater habitats below. What started as a renewable energy project is quietly bringing marine life back to once-barren seabeds.
European scientists just created a roadmap to make artificial intelligence in ocean protection more reliable and fair. The breakthrough could help save marine life while empowering fishing communities worldwide.
