Arctic sea ice algae contaminated with microplastics have serious consequences for ecosystems and the climate.

Artificial lighting from cities illuminates coastal waters and can change the physiology and behaviour of marine organisms.
Plankton, some of the smallest organisms on Earth, are leading big changes in the ocean.
We need to advance our understanding of the effects of microplastics on aquatic ecosystems, especially on small animals at the base of food webs that might be ingesting more of these particles.
Suspending mackerel and spring herring fishing in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence will impact the fishing industry on many levels.
Unless we know what is in the ocean, we can’t protect the biggest part of the planet.
The eastern Arctic and sub-Arctic marine areas of Canada are changing rapidly under climate change.
Algae at the bottom of the Arctic food chain relies on sea ice.
DNA sequencing is making it possible for scientists to identify thousands of species of zooplankton – drifting animals that are key links in ocean food webs.
Fish are a key food source for millions of people worldwide. But a recent study finds long-term warming over the next 200 years could starve tiny plankton, with impacts that would ripple up food chains.
Young African penguins are following the usual cues to feeding grounds only to find that the sources of food in these places is no longer available. This is devastating for their numbers.
They ‘engulf living prey, suck out their innards, poison them, harpoon them, make them explode, and steal and reuse body parts’. And we ignore them at our peril.
Meet a parasite that can create its own mobile nursery for its young, a parasite that is thought to be the inspiration behind the chest-bursting xenomorph in the film Alien. Meet Phronima, the pram-pushing…
The tiny colonial sea creatures, Rhabdopleurids, have stayed relatively unchanged for over 500m years and outlived some of…
