Scientists used artificial intelligence to scan 1.2 million satellite images and discovered that floating algae blooms are expanding across the world's oceans, creating new marine habitats. The breakthrough technology revealed a 13.4% yearly increase in some regions, marking a historic shift in ocean ecosystems.
The European Union is launching a €92 million initiative to better understand and monitor the world's oceans, which remain 95% unexplored. The effort combines cutting-edge technology with climate research to protect marine life and critical underwater infrastructure.
The world's oceans have absorbed 90% of excess heat from greenhouse gases, shielding humanity from faster global warming while supporting three billion livelihoods. World Oceans Day 2026 celebrates this vital resource that produces half our oxygen and drives the global economy.
Thousands of Florida families will gather at North Jetty Park on June 6 for a free celebration combining beach cleanups, ocean education, and community fun. The third annual World Ocean Day event aims to inspire everyday people to protect the Gulf Coast's marine ecosystems.
Melting glaciers are releasing four times more icebergs than 25 years ago, and scientists just discovered they're building thriving deep-sea ecosystems. These floating ice giants are carrying rocks and sediments hundreds of miles out to sea, creating new homes for marine life on the ocean floor.
Kia just renewed its electric vehicle partnership with The Ocean Cleanup, helping the nonprofit tackle ocean plastic pollution while turning recovered waste into car parts. The collaboration shows how corporate partnerships can drive real environmental progress.
A groundbreaking study reveals we've visually explored an area of the deep ocean floor the size of Rhode Island—and scientists are racing to see more. New technology is making the planet's largest ecosystem more accessible than ever before.
Scientists discovered that tiny parasitic worms in decades-old canned salmon are actually good news for our oceans. Rising parasite levels in some species suggest marine ecosystems are bouncing back stronger than ever.
Colorful zoantharians look identical in Brazil and Okinawa despite being separated by thousands of miles, puzzling scientists who discovered they may be nature's ultimate ocean travelers. As climate change threatens traditional coral reefs, these resilient creatures are thriving and offering hope for the future of our oceans.
A young engineer who saw more plastic than fish while diving as a teenager has now removed 50,000 tonnes of trash from waterways and says he can clean the world's oceans in just ten years. His solution targets the 1% of rivers responsible for 80% of ocean plastic.
The creators of underwater game Subnautica 2 just donated $100,000 to The Ocean Cleanup, turning virtual ocean healing into real-world impact. Players who spent hours restoring an alien ocean are now helping save Earth's waters.
Researchers created the first detailed global map of seagrass meadows using satellite imagery, revealing 148,506 square kilometers of these vital ocean ecosystems. The discovery gives conservationists a powerful new tool to protect underwater forests that fight climate change and support coastal communities.
The Ocean Cleanup's Interceptor 025 in Panama is catching tons of trash before it reaches the sea, showing how a single piece of street litter can travel from city sidewalks to marine ecosystems. This river barrier offers hope for protecting oceans while the world tackles plastic pollution at its source.
Researchers discovered 31 previously unknown ocean creatures during a two-week expedition in the South Atlantic Ocean near Brazil. The Schmidt Ocean Institute captured stunning images and created 3D models of these deep-sea species.
Chinese researchers discovered nearly 500 whale skeletons spanning five million years of history in the Indian Ocean. The underwater "graveyard" could unlock secrets about ancient ocean life and help protect today's deep-sea ecosystems.
A research team discovered the largest and oldest whale graveyard ever found, nearly four miles beneath the Indian Ocean's surface. The ancient remains now sustain a thriving ecosystem of rare deep-sea creatures.
Scientists used artificial intelligence to scan 1.2 million satellite images and discovered floating algae is spreading across Earth's oceans, marking a major shift in marine ecosystems. The breakthrough shows how AI can help us understand and prepare for changes in our oceans.
Scientists just launched a free online platform that creates a virtual replica of the ocean, letting anyone explore sea temperatures, pollution levels, and marine life in real time. The AI-powered tool could help save ocean ecosystems before it's too late.
Six African countries are protecting ocean ecosystems by halting deep-sea mining until scientists fully understand its environmental impact. The growing coalition puts ocean health ahead of mining profits, citing climate change concerns and scientific gaps.
The team behind underwater adventure game Subnautica 2 just gave $100,000 to help remove plastic from the world's oceans. The donation to The Ocean Cleanup marks the studio's continued commitment to protecting the real-life seas that inspired their virtual worlds.
