Each year around 640,000 tonnes of fishing gear is lost or thrown overboard by the fisheries around the world. These “ghostnets” drift through the oceans and can continue fishing for many years. They kill…
An extreme ocean heatwave in 2010-11 caused important habitat-forming seaweed to retract its range by 100km off the Western…
Artificial light pollution from coastal development and urban settings can increase mortality in Australian marine turtles…
While whale sharks, the world’s largest fish, have the ability to dive hundreds of metres below the ocean surface, it has…
Dolphins were first spotted in carrying sponges in their mouths in 1984 at Shark Bay, Western Australia.It is believed they…
Change in climate, resulting in warmer and less oxygenated oceans, could mean a reduction in the size of fish. Over 600 species…
Naturally occurring bacteria in the Gulf of Mexico consumed 200,000 tons of the oil and natural gas spilt from the 2010 Deepwater…
A correlation has been found between the size of of a fish known as the “desert goby” and its level of aggression. The male…
Artificial structures such as jetties, oil rigs, pontoons and artificial reefs may be causing increased jellyfish blooms…
Recent aerial surveys of the southern Great Barrier Reef have revealed a dramatic decline in the region’s dugong population…
A paper released today in the journal PNAS provides a new estimate of microbial abundance, in light of new information, from the sub-seafloor realm (the so-called “deep biosphere”). As such, we now have…
Fish are on the move in Australia’s waters. In southern Australia, scientists, commercial and recreational fishers, divers and beach-goers are reporting the presence of new species. The movement of species…
Soil erosion, land degradation and climate change threaten the health of coastal reefs and ecosystems in the western Indian…
Research into the after effects of a heatwave in the waters of the Indian Ocean has yielded insights into how climate extremes…
