Researchers go into action after tsunami
British researchers have launched urgent research programmes in order to learn lessons from the recent Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster. Such knowledge is relevant to both UK, and overseas disaster assessment and prevention programmes. view more (2005-03-18)
Signatures of the first stars
A primitive star with extremely low iron content has been discovered by an international research team from Sweden, Japan, Germany, USA, Australia and Great Britain. The results are published in Nature online this week. view more (2005-04-15)
Decline of world's estuaries and coastal seas
Human activity over the centuries has depleted 90% of marine species, eliminated 65% of seagrass and wetland habitat, degraded water quality 10-1,000 fold, and accelerated species invasions in 12 major estuaries and coastal seas around the world. view more (2006-06-23)
NOAA Announces an Experimental Harmful Algal Bloom Forecast Bulletin for Lake Erie
Predicting harmful algal blooms, or HABs, in the Great Lakes is now a reality as NOAA announces an experimental HAB forecast system in Lake Erie. view more (2009-09-18)
Panama butterfly migrations linked to El Niño, climate change
A high-speed chase across the Panama Canal in a Boston Whaler may sound like the beginning of another James Bond film-but the protagonist of this story brandishes a butterfly net and studies the effects of climate change on insect migrations at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. view more (2009-10-06)
Shellfish face an uncertain future in a high CO2 world
Overfishing and disease have decimated shellfish populations in many of the world's temperate estuarine and coastal ecosystems. view more (2009-05-27)
A molecule that protects from neuronal disorders
Many neuronal disorders, including epilepsy, schizophrenia and lissencephaly - a form of mental retardation -, result from abnormal migration of nerve cells during the development of the brain. view more (2007-09-17)
Scientists fear rare dolphin driven to extinction by human activities
An international research team, including biologists from NOAA Fisheries Service, has reported in an online scientific journal that it had failed to find a single Yangtze River dolphin, or baiji, during a six-week survey in China. view more (2007-09-12)
Light guides flight of migratory birds
Songbirds use multiple sources of directional cues to guide their seasonal migrations, including the Sun, star patterns, the earth's magnetic field, and sky polarized light patterns. view more (2006-08-11)
Huelva is swallowing up coastal lagoons in Doñana
A team of Spanish scientists from a variety of fields has analysed the effects of human activity on the peridunal lagoons in the Doñana National Park. view more (2009-10-08)
Innovative system for monitoring coastline processes
AZTI-Tecnalia, the Basque technological centre specialising in marine and food research, has developed a system for monitoring the coast in order to observe and monitor maritime processes along our coastline. view more (2009-06-17)
NASA satellites eye coastal water quality
Using data from instruments aboard NASA satellites, Zhiqiang Chen and colleagues at the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg, found that they can monitor water quality almost daily, rather than monthly. view more (2007-08-30)
Salmon farms kill wild fish, study shows
New research confirms that sea lice from fish farms kill wild salmon. Up to 95 per cent of the wild juvenile salmon that migrate past fish farms die as a result of sea lice infestation from the farms. view more (2006-10-03)
EU Funding Success For Pioneering Water Quality Software Project
A project funded in part by the European Union's Information Society Technologies (IST) programme (part of the EU's 5th Framework Programme FP5) is developing software which will revolutionise information services used in marine management along UK coasts and estuaries. Partners in the I-MARQ (Information System for Marine Aquatic Resource... view more... (2003-01-16)

It is well known that people from all over the world come to the Bahamas to enjoy the pristine waters, spectacular coral reefs and great fishing. view more (2009-09-30)
Scientists Discover 'Hot Spot' for Toxic Harmful Algal Blooms Off Washington Coast
A new study funded by NOAA and the National Science Foundation reveals that a part of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which separates Washington state from Canada's British Columbia, is a potential "hot spot" for toxic harmful algal blooms affecting the Washington and British Columbia coasts. view more (2009-02-03)
Seawater intrusion is the first cause of contamination of coastal aquifers
Seawater intrusion is often the consequence of freshwater aquifers overexploitation. This is a very common and serious phenomenon all over the Mediterranean basin, as well as in other areas with similar weather conditions and population. view more (2007-07-30)
Coastal bluffs provide more sand to California beaches than previously believed
Coastal geologists have assumed for years that sediment-laden rivers that enter the Pacific Ocean along the Central and Southern California coast supply up to 90 percent of the sand on the region's beaches. view more (2005-10-13)
Tropical crab invades Georgia oyster reefs -- but the long-term impact can't be predicted
A dime-sized tropical crab that has invaded coastal waters in the Southeast United States is having both positive and negative effects on oyster reefs, leaving researchers unable to predict what the creature's long-term impact will be. view more (2007-09-05)
Contrary to recent hypothesis, 'chevrons' are not evidence of megatsunamis
A persistent school of thought in recent years has held that so-called "chevrons," large U- or V-shaped formations found in some of the world's coastal areas, are evidence of megatsunamis caused by asteroids or comets slamming into the ocean. view more (2009-04-29)
