A floating solar farm off Taiwan's coast produces 12% more electricity than land-based solar panels, offering a breakthrough for space-strapped nations. The ocean installation also delivers higher profits while cutting emissions.
Researchers traced farm fertilizer coatings to beaches, solving part of the "missing ocean plastic" puzzle. The finding could help prevent millions of microplastic particles from entering our seas.
Spanish researchers discovered the country's coastline could host enough floating solar panels to power nearly one-tenth of the nation's electricity needs. The breakthrough study maps exactly where ocean-based solar farms could work alongside offshore wind energy.
Europe just passed a clean energy milestone, with wind and solar surpassing fossil fuels for the first time. Now, a predictable renewable energy source from the ocean is ready to fill the gaps when the sun doesn't shine and wind doesn't blow.
Seven countries are racing to harness deeper ocean winds with floating turbines that can access energy reserves impossible for traditional platforms. New marine coating technology is making these massive floating power stations cheaper and more durable than ever.
After 40 years of research, the numbers are in: organic farming isn't just better for the planet, it's more profitable. Even with lower yields, certified organic farms are consistently earning more than conventional operations.
Offshore wind farms in Denmark are proving perfect for growing seaweed at scale, turning ocean energy sites into dual-purpose food producers. After a decade of research, scientists say the technology works and now they just need companies ready to use it.
A massive floating fish farm the size of 20 Olympic swimming pools just launched off China's coast, designed to produce 4,000 tonnes of fish annually while doubling as a tourist destination. The semi-submersible platform can withstand typhoons and exchanges seawater constantly to mirror ocean conditions.
Seaweed farming is emerging as East Africa's newest climate solution, requiring no freshwater, fertilizer, or land while creating jobs and cleaning oceans. Coastal communities in Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar are positioned to tap into a billion-dollar global industry that Europe is already racing to dominate.
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.
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.
Researchers in Japan discovered where microplastics from farm fertilizer end up after years of puzzling over vanished ocean pollution. The breakthrough reveals that beaches act as temporary traps, catching plastic before it disappears into unknown ocean locations.
Ocean Winds just flipped the switch on France's first fully operational offshore wind farm, delivering clean electricity to nearly 800,000 people. The project created thousands of jobs and proves renewable energy can thrive alongside traditional ocean industries.
A nonprofit that sends volunteers and equipment to struggling farm families just expanded to Missouri, offering free planting, harvesting, and livestock care. Since 2005, Farm Rescue has helped more than 1,250 families across the Midwest keep their farms running during tough times.
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.
The Ocean Cleanup is launching a game-changing strategy this summer that uses AI and drones to find plastic hotspots in real time. It's like a weather forecast, but for tracking ocean trash.
Small farmers in Punjab, India are getting a lifeline through new tech partnerships with South Korea. The collaboration brings vertical farming, automation, and advanced machinery to help make small-scale farming profitable again.
Researchers have discovered ocean currents are channeling fresh water to a new region off Australia, revealing how our planet adapts to changing climate patterns. The finding helps scientists better understand the ocean's global circulation system.
A massive mango plantation is taking root in southwest Ethiopia, promising thousands of jobs and a boost to the country's agricultural exports. The 824-hectare farm represents Ethiopia's push to modernize farming and compete globally.
