Waddenzee fresher than ever
The seawater in the Waddenzee is becoming fresher. More river water is reaching the Waddenzee via the outlet sluices of the IJsselmeer Dam. This is the conclusion of Dr Hendrik van Aken from the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research. Along with the fresh water, more nitrate and phosphate are entering the Waddenzee. During the past 140 years the... view more... (2002-09-11)
Divers find new species in Aleutians
There are unknown creatures lurking under the windswept islands of the Aleutians, according to a team of scientific divers from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. view more (2007-11-05)
Co-ordination of National and Regional Marine RTD Programmes in Europe: the MarinERA project
MarinERA is an EU 6th Framework Programme Era-Net with a total funding of 2.954 millions euros from 2004-2008. MarinERA is a partnership of the leading Marine RTD Funding Organisations in 13 European Member and Accession States, supported by the Marine Board of the European Science Foundation (MB-ESF). Together, these Funding Agencies represent... view more... (2004-12-16)
Accelerating loss of ocean species threatens human well-being
An international group of ecologists and economists has shown that the loss of biodiversity is profoundly reducing the ocean's ability to produce seafood, resist diseases, filter pollutants and rebound from stresses such as overfishing and climate change. view more (2006-11-07)
Researchers to Develop Ocean Sanctuary "Noise Budget" to Identify Sources and Evaluate Potential Impact on Marine Mammals and Fish
Like sentinels at their posts, an array of buoys equipped with underwater microphones and other sensors will be on duty in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of Massachusetts for the next 30 months, recording sounds from whales, fish, ships and other sources around the clock. view more (2008-04-02)
Decline in Alaskan sea otters affects bald eagles' diet
Sea otters are known as a keystone species, filling such an important niche in ocean communities that without them, entire ecosystems can collapse. view more (2008-10-03)
Are aerosols reducing coastal drizzle and increasing cloud cover?
Scientists sponsored by the Department of Energy are conducting a six-month atmospheric research campaign at the Point Reyes National Seashore, in Marin County, California. The experiment's goal is to help researchers understand how aerosols -small particles such as soot, dust and smoke-influence the structure of marine stratus clouds, and how... view more...

Protecting endangered species helps reduce poverty
Saving endangered species like pandas, gorillas and tigers helps reduce poverty and improve the lives of local communities, according to a new World Wildlife Fund report. view more (2006-03-22)
Lemurs' fur color may not define species
Different coat colour might not correspond to different species for nocturnal lemurs. In a study published today in the open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology, researchers find that lemurs that appeared to belong to different species because they have strikingly different coat colours, are in fact genetically related and belong to the same... view more...

Discovery of a unique symbiosis between bacteria and a marine worm
Dr. Nicole Dubilier, a scientist in the Molecular Ecology research group of Dr. Rudolf Amann at the Max Planck Institute of Marine Microbiology in Bremen, and her colleagues have discovered a unique symbiosis between bacteria and a marine worm, described in the journal Nature, issue May 17th 2001. The term symbiosis typically evokes an image of... view more... (2001-05-17)
Marine 'dead zone' off Oregon is spreading
A hypoxic "dead zone" has formed off the Oregon Coast for the fifth time in five years, according to researchers at Oregon State University. view more (2006-07-28)
Farmed salmon could become an invasive species in forest streams
Ever since the Norwegians expanded commercial farming of salmon in the 1960s, the industry has continued to rapidly grow worldwide. view more (2007-03-09)
Global warming forces fish northwards
Fears that global warming is threatening British fish stocks were confirmed this week with the publication of a new study in the international journal Science. view more (2005-05-10)
Animals that seem identical may be completely different species
Animals that seem identical may belong to completely different species. This is the conclusion of researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, who have used DNA analyses to discover that one of our most common segmented worms is actually two types of worm. The result is one of many suggesting that the variety of species on the earth could... view more... (2009-04-23)
Tracing poisonous gases in the ocean
About one and a half years ago the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft assigned the Research Center Ocean Margins to the University of Bremen. In the future the Center shall act as a center of excellence in the field of marine research. Having completed its building-up phase today the first marine research expedition is launched in Capetown.... view more... (2003-01-21)
Deep-sea sharks wired for sound
Deep-sea sharks have been tagged and tracked and their habitats precisely mapped in world-first research to test the conservation value of areas closed to commercial fishing. view more (2008-04-16)
Sharks in danger
There are 370 species of shark, each with their own particular habitats and behaviours. Most sharks are slow to reproduce and do not have large numbers of young. They are therefore particularly sensitive to predation or large losses. Caught as accidental by-catch (estimated at 3000 per day), sharks are also fished for their fins (for food),... view more...

Greenhouse ocean may downsize fish
By 2100, warmer oceans with more carbon dioxide may no longer sustain 1 of the world's most productive fisheries, says USC marine ecologist. view more (2008-01-14)
Bacterial 'switch gene' regulates how oceans emit sulfur into atmosphere
Scientists have discovered a bacterial "switch gene" in two groups of microscopic plankton common in the oceans. The gene helps determine whether certain marine plankton convert a sulfur compound to one that rises into the atmosphere, where it can affect the earth's temperature, or remain in the sea, where it can be used as a nutrient. view more (2006-10-30)
'New continent' and species discovered in Atlantic study
A scientist from the University of Aberdeen is leading a team of international researchers whose work will continue our understanding of life in the deepest oceans, and contribute to the global Census of Marine Life. view more (2007-08-20)
