Declining sharks
The transformation of terrestrial and coastal ecosystems by humans is well known, but only recently have the impacts of anthropogenic forces in the open ocean been recognized. In particular, intense exploitation by industrial fisheries is rapidly changing oceanic ecosystems by drastically reducing populations of many marine species. For most... view more... (2004-02-05)
Bacteria can help predict ocean change
Every creature has its place and role in the oceans - even the smallest microbe, according to a new study that may lead to more accurate models of ocean change. view more (2006-08-15)
Salmon go veggie to save wild fish stocks
Salmon, like humans, require omega-3 fatty acids in their diet to function healthily. But as the fish farming industry expands, feeding salmon and other aquatic species with pellets containing fishmeal and oil derived from processing wild-caught marine fish is unsustainable in the long term. view more (2006-04-04)
Marine Reserves Have Rapid and Lasting Effects - Benjamin S. Halpern & Robert R. Warner in ECOLOGY LETTERS
Marine reserves have rapid and lasting impacts on organisms inside reserves, according to scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In a paper published in the current issue of ECOLOGY LETTERS, the researchers reviewed 80 studies from `no-take` reserves, where it is illegal to extract organisms in any way. These showed that... view more... (2002-05-21)
Texas A&M-Galveston professor discovers new species of marine life
Two tiny worms much smaller than a rice grain and a strange crustacean that has no eyes and poisonous fangs are among several new species of marine life discovered in an underwater cave by a Texas A&M University at Galveston researcher, who has had one of the new species named after him. view more (2009-08-28)
Mixed dolphins and the impact of tourism
Dolphins off the coast of East Africa are exposed to a number of threats, like indirect catching, hunting, and environmental impact. In her dissertation at the Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, Sweden, Eva Stensland has studied behavioral ecology in Indo-Pacific bottlenose and humpback dolphins, off Zanzibar, Tanzania. For the last... view more... (2004-05-07)

Ecological Changes in the North Sea as a Consequence of Biological Globalisation and Climate Change
Long-term monitoring studies at the 'Biologische Anstalt Helgoland' (BAH), part of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, document rapid ecological changes in the North Sea. Scientists explain these changes primarily with the introduction of non-native species and global climate change. Investigations that have been carried... view more... (2005-01-31)

A CAR THAT RUNS ON FRESH AIR - ALMOST!
Karl's car finished 38th in a field of 109 entrants - an impressive feat by any standards. 'I built the car over a year as an A level technology project,' says Karl. 'The project was sponsored by Marine Projects at Lee Mill in Plymouth and the team consisted of myself and a friend, Sam Starmore, who drove the car for me.' view more (1999-02-01)
A thirst for blood sparks toxic algal blooms
The blooming of toxic algae that occurs during the summer conceal a fight for life and death. Scientists at the University of Gothenburg propose in an article published in the journal PNAS that algal blooms are created when aggressive algae kill and injure their competitors in order to absorb the nutrients they contain. view more (2009-06-30)
Ecological communities suffer dramatic changes when non-native species are introduced by humans!
Ecological communities suffer dramatic changes when non-native species are introduced by humans. Such introductions have been documented in hundreds of locations and appear to be common in marine and island habitats. One of the best-studied cases of a species that suddenly appeared in the New England intertidal, and subsequently spread rapidly... view more... (2002-07-11)
Turtles are loyal in feeding as well as in breeding
A research team led by the University of Exeter has discovered that, after laying their eggs, sea turtles travel hundreds of miles to feed at exactly the same sites. view more (2007-04-25)
Ocean acidification threatens cold-water coral ecosystems
Corals don't only occur in warm, sun-drenched, tropical seas; some species are found at depths of three miles or more in cold, dark waters throughout the world's oceans. view more (2006-04-03)
Microscope to aid shell-fishing industry
Groundbreaking research by University of Plymouth experts into the detection of harmful species of algae has helped develop a unique microscope, which could dramatically decrease cases of poisoning from contaminated shellfish. The HAB (harmful algae blooms)-Buoy is an innovative project, funded by the European Union, involving Dr Phil Culverhouse,... view more... (2003-05-29)
