A global assessment by HKU marine scientists found that oyster reef restoration rapidly increases marine biodiversity. However, increased restoration effort is needed to eliminate historical damage.

Scientists from Simon Fraser University are part of an international team of researchers that has developed a new science-based indicator to assess the state of health of the oceans—and the possible risk of extinction of their species.

Discover some of the inspirational people and organisations working to learn more about and mitigate the impact of invasive species in the ocean in this special edition of Eco Magazine.

An international expedition is heading to Antarctica this December in an attempt to find and film the world's largest invertebrate in the deep sea for the first time.

A new analysis of old data suggests that the endangered erect-crested penguin’s bizarre nesting habits – rejecting the first egg they lay – is because they can’t feed two chicks, and the second, larger egg has a better chance of success.

Researchers have discovered that an 80 year old historic World War II shipwreck is still influencing the microbiology and geochemistry of the ocean floor where it rests. In Frontiers in Marine Science, they show how the wreck is leaking hazardous pollutants, such as explosives and heavy metals, into the ocean floor sediment of the North Sea, influencing the marine microbiology around it

Research from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, United States reveals that, under a worst-case scenario, half of coral reef ecosystems worldwide will permanently face unsuitable conditions in just a dozen years.

While heatwaves have been striking across the northern hemisphere this summer, new research shows how marine heatwaves have increased since 1850.

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.
