We usually associate these marine ecosystems with exotic locations and tropical oceans. In fact, we have a number of such underwater treasures, the latest only ...

We need more local scientists committed to marine ecosystem research and management. On a personal note, near the end of a long career conducting research in many of the world's oceans, I count myself privileged to have the opportunity to study in the ocean sector at Cape Breton University.

An international research team aboard the Niwa vessel Tangaroa spent six weeks installing instruments and carrying out experiments in the Ross Sea to help their understanding of the climate, atmospheric and oceanographic processes in the region and how they influence the marine ecosystem. But they ...

Coral bleaching in waters near the Cobourg Peninsula is ringing alarm bells that the Northern Territory's marine ecosystems are under threat from rising sea surface temperatures, scientists say. Rangers at the Garig Gunak Barlu National Park on the remote peninsula, about 60km north-east of Darwin, ...

Cynthia Catton's voice catches a bit as she describes diving along the North Coast this summer to survey the region's red abalone stock as part of annual state monitoring efforts. She had known the situation was bleak but that didn't prepare her for what she would see. "At all of the sites we saw a huge ...

A team of scientists, led by the British Antarctic Survey is bound for Antarctica to investigate a mysterious marine ecosystem that's been hidden beneath an Antarctic ice shelf for up to 120,000 years. The iceberg known as A68, which is four times of London, calved off from the Larsen Ice Shelf in July 2017.
