Scientists at Simon Fraser University have developed a cryogenic freezing technique to store germplasm, or “seed”, of at-risk bull kelp in a biobank. The collection of “seed” could be used to aid restoration efforts and advance research projects such as identifying kelp populations that may be better suited to survive in the warmer waters expected with climate change.

It’s Sea Otter Awareness Week, and what better way to celebrate sea otters than to delve into some of the amazing things we’ve been learning about these furry critters over the past year.

A new report from the University of Portsmouth’s Global Plastic Policy Centre examining the effectiveness of global plastic policies concludes that current approaches to policy making will not produce the step change needed to tackle the global plastic pollution crisis.

For the maritime authorities in the West African nation of Togo, keeping vessels safe is a top priority, as is safeguarding the marine environment and port infrastructure. Data of waves and currents is important, which is why coastal maritime stations, some equipped with AWAC wave and current profilers, have been installed over a 65 km stretch of the Togolese coast.

In partnership with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC), ECO Magazine is looking for marine science professionals and technologists working on projects related to non-native marine species and biosecurity to share their work in a Special Edition of Eco Magazine - Marine Invasions.

Eco Magazine commands a global audience of marine scientists and professionals, making this an excellent opportunity to shine a spotlight on your work.

Inspired by a trip to the dentist, Dr Kate Quigley presents a new method for monitoring coral size and growth that reduces surveying time by 99%!

A new study suggests faster decomposition in warmer waters could reduce kelp contributions to deep sea carbon stores.

Help A Research Out users Anna Osiecka, Katarzyna Brzeska, and Aleksandra Wróbel share the result of their survey of early career marine scientists and conservationists' experiences. Their work highlights some of the barriers to equity and work ethic issues that are still to be addressed.

One person's trash is another person's treasure, as the old proverb goes. Whether dealing with inedible or less appetising parts of seafood, small business owners, conservation organisations, researchers, and communities are showing that seafood waste doesn't have to be wasteful.
