A coalition of 45 nations has announced a pledge to raise $12 billion to help protect and preserve coral reefs around the world.

Auckland Council will decide at a private meeting on Friday how it will buy homes damaged in recent severe storms.

Tropical coral reefs could end up being one of the first victims of climate change.

Extreme ocean changes due to climate change are not an abstract or future scenario. This summer alone, 23 per cent of the world’s oceans experienced a heat wave, corresponding to an area roughly equivalent to the entire Atlantic Ocean.

DFO scientist reviewed sea surface temperatures in satellite data dating back 4 decades

Scientist Mike Marden has spent decades researching the East Coast's erosion and knows the local soils like few others – and he also knows things have to change. Aaron Smale continues a series on the slow destruction of Tairāwhiti.

Jordan Kelly, Brand manager at Oceans, says: “Ocean warming might sound distant to many of us, but the effects this can have on locations much closer to home can be detrimental.

Along the Asian coastlines there are many areas where rural communities experience alarming rates of sea level rises due to land subsidence up to 10 cm per year. This causes tremendous challenges on how to live there and protect these coasts.

Already the world's hottest coastal environment in the summer, the shallow sea between the Arabian peninsula and southwestern Iran continues to heat at a breathtaking pace.

Another picturesque coastal community has imposed a ban on second homes and holiday lets to prevent the area from being swamped with outsiders.
