Earth's oceans rose just 0.03 inches in 2025, a fraction of the previous year's increase, thanks to a natural weather pattern that shifted water from sea to land. NASA scientists say the temporary slowdown shows how nature can sometimes pump the brakes on rising seas.
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.
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 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.
Over 150 volunteers gathered at South Africa's historic Kalk Bay Harbour for the largest ocean cleanup in the event's nine-year history. Divers and community members removed underwater debris and shoreline trash while documenting coastal pollution patterns.
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.
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.
Hydro Flask just launched a major partnership with Ocean Conservancy to tackle the 200 million metric tons of plastic choking our oceans. The multi-year initiative will mobilize millions of sports fans and concertgoers to ditch single-use plastics at stadiums and venues worldwide.
More than 1,000 researchers just unveiled over 1,100 newly discovered ocean species, from carnivorous "death ball" sponges to ghost sharks living miles beneath the waves. The discoveries prove our oceans are teeming with life we're only beginning to understand.
Norwegian company Blueye Robotics just launched two underwater drones that can explore ocean depths up to 500 meters, opening up the deep sea to researchers, conservationists, and anyone curious about what lies beneath. These mini-ROVs make ocean exploration more accessible than ever before.
Environmental volunteers filled trash bags with bottles, caps, and debris at a Florida beach to celebrate ocean protection. The cleanup was part of a nationwide effort to safeguard coastlines before World Ocean Day.
NASA released a stunning visualization of Earth's hidden ocean currents that looks like a Van Gogh painting. The swirling blue and white patterns reveal the underwater highways that regulate our planet's climate and support all marine life.
Scientists and conservationists are making unprecedented progress protecting our oceans, from removing millions of pounds of trash to restoring coral reefs and saving whale populations. World Oceans Day on June 8 celebrates these wins while inspiring more people to join the effort.
Texas researchers discovered a breakthrough way to track ocean currents using affordable drones and wave patterns, making oil spill response faster and safer. The innovation costs 90% less than traditional methods and works without touching contaminated water.
Scientists discovered that ocean temperature patterns act as a natural shield against global droughts, preventing multiple farming regions from drying out simultaneously. The finding offers new hope for protecting food supplies in a warming world.
Congress just rescued a critical ocean monitoring network that tracks climate patterns affecting millions of people worldwide. The unanimous Senate vote reversed a controversial plan to dismantle 368 million dollars worth of scientific equipment.
Volunteers in North Carolina are rolling up their sleeves for a beach cleanup that celebrates World Ocean Day and proves ocean conservation is a team sport. The Fort Fisher Aquarium is turning a global awareness day into local action.
Hawaii's Surfrider Kauai is turning World Ocean Day into a month-long celebration with art shows, beach cleanups, and festivals that transform ocean trash into community treasure. Volunteers already pulled a 2,000-pound fishing net from the water this week.
