Marine researchers have identified 117 never-before-seen species during a five-week expedition to one of Earth's least explored underwater regions. The discoveries, ranging from ghost sharks to glowing jellyfish, could eventually top 200 new species.
Marine researchers found more than 110 new species during a deep-sea expedition in Australia's largest marine protected area, with the count expected to exceed 200. The discoveries include ghost sharks, stingrays, sea anemones, and dozens of other creatures never before documented by science.
Marine researchers have identified 24 new deep-sea species in the Pacific Ocean, including an entirely new superfamily that represents a rare evolutionary discovery. The findings are helping scientists map one of Earth's least understood ecosystems.
The University of Cape Coast has launched the Africa Ocean Institute, a new research hub dedicated to protecting Africa's oceans and coastal communities. With over $500,000 in funding secured, the institute will tackle overfishing, pollution, and climate threats while supporting fishing communities across the continent.
A startup just made exploring the ocean depths as affordable as launching small satellites, dropping costs by 100-fold. Their bobbing underwater robots could help everyone from fishermen to climate scientists understand our mysterious oceans.
Marine researchers discovered nearly 800 species living 4,000 meters below the Pacific Ocean, most never seen before. The five-year study reveals both the wonder of deep-sea life and how future mining might affect one of Earth's least explored places.
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.
Researchers are heading back to the deep Pacific Ocean to solve one of the sea's most intriguing mysteries: oxygen appearing 4,000 meters down where sunlight can't reach. Armed with $5.2 million in funding and custom-built equipment, they're determined to discover what's creating this unexpected source of life-giving gas.
