Scientists previously thought warming temperatures caused by climate change and increased nutrient levels due to pollution might offset each other’s impact on aquatic life.

University of Missouri scientists are battling against an emerging enemy of human health: nanoplastics. Much smaller in size than the diameter of an average human hair, nanoplastics are invisible to the naked eye.

Forest restoration can benefit humans, boost biodiversity and help tackle climate change simultaneously, new research suggests.

Coral cover has increased in all three regions on the Great Barrier Reef and is at regional highs in two of the three regions, according to a report by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). 

Sea surface temperatures are on the rise around the world, but the problem is pronounced in the estuaries and shallow coastal waters of South Florida.

UTA scientist’s research shows how global warming is slowing formation of new permafrost.

Elephant conservation is a major priority in southern Africa, but habitat loss and urbanization mean the far-ranging pachyderms are increasingly restricted to protected areas like game reserves. 

Two of the planet’s more pressing environmental stressors have the potential to alter the growth and reproductive output of plants found right along the world’s coastlines, a new study suggests.

Shark conservation must go beyond simply protecting shark populations — it must prioritise protecting the ecological roles of sharks, according to new research.

Clues to future sea level rise have been revealed by the first detailed maps of the underside of a floating ice shelf in Antarctica.
