Historical Photographs Expose Decline in Florida's Reef Fish, New Scripps Study Finds
A unique study by a scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has provided fresh evidence of fishing's impact on marine ecosystems. view more (2009-02-18)
Coral reefs may start dissolving when atmospheric CO2 doubles
Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the resulting effects on ocean water are making it increasingly difficult for coral reefs to grow, say scientists. view more (2009-03-10)
New species and new records of marine species discovered in NW Hawaiian Islands
A three-week scientific expedition to French Frigate Shoals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument returned to Honolulu on Sunday with the discovery of many new species and a better understanding of marine biodiversity in the Hawaiian Archipelago. view more (2006-10-31)
There's no scent like home
Tiny larval fish living among Australia's Great Barrier Reef spend the early days of their lives swept up in ocean currents that disperse them far from their places of birth. view more (2007-01-09)
Stanford scientists find heat-tolerant coral reefs that may resist climate change
Experts say that more than half of the world's coral reefs could disappear in the next 50 years, in large part because of higher ocean temperatures caused by climate change. view more (2009-05-20)
The Bay Is His Oyster: Ray Grizzle Is Restoring Oyster Reefs To NH's Great Bay
In the past decade, the oyster population in New Hampshire's Great Bay estuary has plummeted by 90 percent, due to the 1995 arrival of the oyster disease MSX. view more (2006-05-12)
What's Killing the Coral Reefs?
The answer to what's killing the world's coral reefs may be found in a tiny chip that fits in the palm of your hand. view more (2009-02-05)
New indicator uncovered that can predict coral health
A new indicator of coral health has been discovered in a community of microscopic single-celled algae called dinoflagellates. view more (2008-07-21)
Smithsonian coral biodiversity survey of Panama's Pearl Islands
A comprehensive survey of coral biodiversity in Panama's Las Perlas Archipelago, published in the journal Environmental Conservation by researchers from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and their colleagues, has resulted in clear conservation recommendations for a new coastal management plan. view more (2008-07-08)
Caltech scientists lead deep-sea discovery voyage
Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and an international team of collaborators have returned from a month-long deep-sea voyage to a marine reserve near Tasmania, Australia, that not only netted coral-reef samples likely to provide insight into the impact of climate change on the world's oceans, but also brought to... view more...

Changes in reef latitude
Since the 1980s, researchers have hypothesized that nutrient levels rather than temperature are the main factor controlling the latitudinal bounds of coral reefs, but the issue remains controversial. view more (2006-02-22)
Twenty of World's 162 Grouper Species Threatened With Extinction
The first comprehensive assessment of the world's 162 species of grouper, a culinary favorite and important commercial fish, found that 20 are threatened with extinction unless proper management or conservation measures are introduced. view more (2007-03-22)
Waters off Washington state only second place in world where glass sponge reefs found
Thirty miles west of Grays Harbor, University of Washington scientists have discovered large colonies of glass sponges thriving on the seafloor. The species of glass sponges capable of building reefs were thought extinct for 100 million years until they were found in recent years in the protected waters of Canada's Georgia and Hecata straits, the... view more...

Corals switch skeleton material as seawater changes
Leopards may not be able to change their spots, but corals can change their skeletons, building them out of different minerals depending on the chemical composition of the seawater around them. view more (2006-07-07)
New NOAA report offers in-depth look at Northwestern Hawaiian islands marine life, ecosystems
A new NOAA report on the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI), protected by the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, provides the sharpest picture yet of the region's marine life and ecosystems. view more (2009-05-22)
How corals adapt to day and night
Researchers have uncovered a gene in corals that responds to day/night cycles, which provides some tantalizing clues into how symbiotic corals work together with their plankton partners. view more (2008-09-15)
New light trap captures larval stage of new species; DNA barcode technology used
When David Jones, a fisheries oceanographer at the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) located at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School, set out to design a better light trap to collect young reef fishes, he never imagined his invention would contribute to the discovery of a new species. view more (2007-10-24)
Report Warns about Carbon Dioxide Threats to Marine Life
Worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning are dramatically altering ocean chemistry and threatening marine organisms, including corals, that secrete skeletal structures and support oceanic biodiversity. view more (2006-07-06)
Scientific sub makes deep-sea discoveries
A four-week expedition to explore the deep ocean south-west of Tasmania has revealed new species of animals and more evidence of impacts of increasing carbon dioxide on deep-sea corals. view more (2009-01-21)
Microbialities: Indicators Of Environmental And Climatic Changes?
Microbial communities can adapt to and colonize all kinds of habitat, owing to their metabolic versatility. They occur in abyssal oceanic situations, in polar ice caps, also in thermal springs, lakes, rivers, deserts and on carbonate (karst) platform systems. Under favourable conditions, the microbial communities can proliferate and contribute to... view more... (2002-09-27)
