The invasive quagga mussel has already gained a foothold in numerous bodies of water in Switzerland. For three affected Swiss lakes, a prediction of the extent to which the quagga mussel will continue to spread has now been made for the first time as part of the SeeWandel project, as a collaboration between researchers from the aquatic research institute Eawag, the universities of Geneva and Constance and others.

When 62-year-old fisherman Kpana Charlie has finished sorting through the day's catch and patching up the holes in his nets, he likes to settle into a weathered wooden chair on his front porch and let his mind drift back to his childhood. Back then, his home on Sierra Leone's Nyangai Island seemed like paradise.

The impact of climate change on marine ecosystems is becoming increasingly complex. A recent study offers a new perspective on how climate change and local temperature fluctuations interact to affect marine life.

It is robust, concrete, utilitarian and looks like it came out of a sci-fi film, yet already this tower has won a number of awards, shortlisted for a global prize in Portugal.

In recent years, there has been a proliferation of scientific publications on how coasts can adapt to the impacts of climate change. However, a study led by marine biologist Dr. David Cabana of the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon has revealed a significant gap: few of these research findings translate into actionable recommendations.

Along Canadian coasts, storm surges and flooding have gone from breaking news to seasonal norms.

Research institutions from Norway and other countries have collected a great amount of data from the northern oceans in recent years. Many people want access to this information

All aquatic species in the river mouths flowing into the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean are contaminated with microplastics, with molluscs being the most affected due to their ability to filter water.

Researchers find exposure to heavy metals cadmium and antimony and certain organic contaminants, accumulated by the mother and transferred to her eggs, may cause embryos to be feminized in green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas), a species already at risk of extinction from a current lack of male hatchlings.

Book and claim democratizes access to low-emission fuels and can increase their adoption to decarbonize freight.

With a continuous cycle of innovation and adaptation, the economic landscape of Cox’s Bazar has undergone a profound transformation over the past five decades. Now, on the cusp of another transformative chapter, Cox’s Bazar is entering a new phase of growth with the launch of a rail network, promising to further unlock the town’s economic potential

German and EU officials say the treaty between Australia and the Pacific island country should spur global cut to emissions

The last three remaining chalets on a coastal cliff top are to be demolished. One chalet at the site in Pakefield, near Lowestoft in Suffolk, was demolished in February 2022.

Windfarm critics claim projects will harm marine life. Scientists say that’s not backed by credible evidence

Offshore wind developer Deep Wind Offshore enters a partnership with Hy2gen to produce green hydrogen from offshore wind.

Scientists on a Schmidt Ocean Institute expedition have discovered a new hydrothermal vent field larger than a professional soccer field.

Most wind turbines look like a propeller on a stick – which is fine. But this design makes less and less sense when taken out into the deep ocean, where most of the world’s best wind energy potential is located.

Sebastian Steudtner already holds the world record for the largest wave ever surfed, but as the giant wave season begins, the German is looking to science and technology to chase a new high.

It’s only three weeks until the annual UN climate conference takes place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. World leaders, civil society and business representatives will gather at COP28 from 30 November to 12 December to discuss ways to increase the ambition of emission reduction while responding to the already visible climate crisis.

Australia is making headlines around the world for offering the people of Tuvalu a new ‘human mobility pathway to Australia’ that promises ‘human mobility with dignity’ of up to 280 Tuvaluan citizens per year, through a new treaty named the Australia-Tuvalu Falepili Union.

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s government laid out hurricane reconstruction plans Tuesday for the resort of Acapulco that seem to give as much priority to building military barracks as re-opening hotels.

Two healthy and pristine coral reefs have recently been discovered in the waters surrounding the Galápagos Islands. The largest of the detected reefs stretches for nearly 800 meters.

Over the past few decades, algae have been slowly edging corals out of their native reefs across the globe by blocking sunlight, wearing the corals down physically, and producing harmful chemicals.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Debate over proposed regulations for deep-sea mining will stretch into next year as a U.N. agency that presides over the international seabed concluded its last meeting of the year on Wednesday.

Acapulco wasn’t prepared when Hurricane Otis struck as a powerful Category 5 storm on Oct. 25, 2023. The short notice as the storm rapidly intensified over the Pacific Ocean wasn’t the only problem – the Mexican resort city’s buildings weren’t designed to handle anything close to Otis’ 165 mph winds.
