What’s geodiversity you ask? It’s short for geological diversity - the diversity of the natural parts of our planet that aren’t alive. The rocks, soils, sediments, landforms, and hydrological features, for example, and the processes that create and change these and other non-living features. Geodiversity isn’t just the stuff we see on the land. It’s underwater too. Let’s take a peek at just five spectacular undersea features that make up some of our World’s geodiversity.

Community science project Competitive Angling as a Scientific Tool (CAST) could provide a unique insight into the distribution, life stages and habitat preferences of data-poor fisheries.

62% of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) designated to protect rare migratory fish species are outside of their core habitats, according to a new modelling study.

It’s World Bee Day! Bees are famous for their pollination, but did you know that there are many other pollinators? Some even live in the sea.

Palaeontologists believe the teeth may have been used for defence, competitive fighting, or as digging tools

This World Penguin Day we take a look at the Galapagos Penguin - arguably the loneliest penguins in the world. 

Scientists have shown for the first time that juvenile great white sharks gather in nearshore waters up to 10 meters deep with temperatures between 16 and 22 °C – a very different habitat from that of adults. These preferences may optimize their growth and minimize the risk of predation. These results can inform conservation efforts and help avoid unwanted encounters with swimmers.

A new report released at the Our Ocean Conference in Greece by SkyTruth, a nonprofit conservation technology organization, identified 757 oil slicks covering 1.9 million hectares in the Mediterranean Sea between July 2020 - January 2024. Most of these slicks were discharged from vessels in transit.

The data reveals UK coastal seas were on average 0.39 Celsius warmer in 2023 than in 2022.
