Fossil isotope evidence for trophic simplification on modern Caribbean reefs - Nature Using nitrogen isotopes from ancient and modern fish otoliths and corals, the study shows Caribbean reef food webs are now 60–70% shorter and functionally less diverse, indicating human-driven tr...

Coral reef ecosystems are in decline and indeed, have been assessed to have passed their Tipping Point. A new study used 7,000 year old fossil evidence to track changes in the food webs of Caribbean reefs.

From „Ocean to Land“ Session at UNFCC COP30 Today.

At COP30 Brasil, ORRAA aims to showcase ocean-climate solutions, position ocean finance as a core element of the climate agenda and shape the narrative on finance and implementation.

Researchers make stunning discovery after studying major river for more than 2 decades: 'Recovered significantly' The Kosterhavet National Park on the west coast of Sweden saw significant positive changes to marine life after implementing trawling restrictions.

"Animals that capture nutrients through filtration, such as #mussels, #anemones, and soft #corals, do not thrive when bottom trawls stir up sediment from the #seabed. Several of these species have recovered significantly." www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/kos...

Marine heatwaves have hidden impacts on ocean food webs and carbon cycling • MBARI New study analyzing data from robotic floats and plankton records reveals how marine heatwaves reshape ocean food webs and slow transport of carbon to the deep sea.

A new study led by @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social researchers at MBARI has found that marine heatwaves can reshape ocean food webs, slowing the transport of carbon to the deep sea and hampering the ocean’s ability to buffer against climate change.

SWOT Sharpens Seafloor Focus A satellite-mounted instrument has in just one year produced higher-resolution imagery of the global seafloor than that from comparable systems over the past 30 years.

🌊 A study led by Scripps postdoctoral researcher Yao Yu shows how NASA’s SWOT satellite is transforming our view of the deep ocean. In just one year, NASA’s SWOT satellite has mapped the seafloor in greater detail than similar systems achieved in 3 decades.
