What started as a 16-year-old's frustration with ocean plastic has grown into a global movement deploying innovative technology to clean our waters. Boyan Slat's vision is now removing tons of waste from oceans and rivers before it reaches the sea.
A marine technology company just secured $20 million to scale a breakthrough method that uses tiny ocean plants to capture carbon dioxide and store it deep underwater. Gigablue's approach works with nature to tackle climate change while improving ocean health.
A new fleet of affordable autonomous sensors is giving scientists unprecedented access to ocean data, potentially saving lives by predicting hurricane paths days earlier. The technology could revolutionize weather forecasting and ocean conservation.
The Ocean Cleanup has pulled more than 45 million kilograms of plastic from oceans and rivers, the largest haul by any single project worldwide. The milestone proves cleanup technology works at scale, though it also shows just how much plastic still flows into our waters every day.
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.
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.
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.
Scientists are using underwater microphones and advanced drilling ships to unlock the ocean's deepest mysteries. These breakthrough technologies could save lives by detecting tsunamis hours before they strike land.
A Swedish ocean energy company just secured funding to bring underwater "kite" turbines to Taiwan's shores. The technology could tap into the island's powerful tidal currents to generate clean, predictable electricity.
Scientists say emerging ocean technologies could remove eight billion extra tons of CO2 annually by 2050, turning our seas into powerful climate allies. Major tech companies are already investing tens of millions in both engineered solutions and nature-based approaches.
The Ocean Cleanup is launching its first Indian intervention in Mumbai, where 5 million kilograms of plastic waste flows into the Arabian Sea every year. The nonprofit will deploy river interception technology in 2026 to protect coastal ecosystems and nearly 2 million livelihoods.
A new generation of wind turbines that float on water is opening access to untapped clean energy in oceans too deep for traditional platforms. The technology works, and the industry is taking careful steps to scale it up responsibly.
A solar-powered floating observatory has returned to life three miles off the Jersey Shore, opening new doors for ocean research, student training, and sustainable technology development. The collaboration between universities and state agencies positions New Jersey as a leader in marine innovation.
Israel is putting $2 million into developing cutting-edge renewable energy technologies designed specifically for ocean environments. The initiative aims to transform marine spaces into clean energy powerhouses while strengthening the nation's climate goals.
A new drone system can hunt submarines for hours longer than crewed aircraft, freeing up naval crews for critical missions. The MQ-9B SeaGuardian just completed tests using advanced sonar technology to patrol vast ocean areas.
A new smart survey system uses drones, AI cameras, and GPS trackers to map exactly where plastic pollution flows through rivers, helping cities stop trash before it reaches the ocean. The technology is already guiding cleanup solutions in 30 cities worldwide.
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.
Israel just launched a major funding program to turn its oceans into clean energy powerhouses, from wave-powered systems to AI-managed offshore wind farms. The $1.8 million initiative aims to position the nation as a global leader in marine renewable technology.
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.
A UK startup just raised $5.6 million to harness tidal energy using fins that mimic how whales and dolphins swim. Their technology could make ocean power as affordable as wind and solar by 2028.
