Scientists investigate presence of ancient deep-sea microplastics

Marine scientists are seeking to solve a deep-sea microplastics mystery after finding evidence of manufactured plastics buried in the seabed sediment.

OOI’s cable hears the sounds of the ocean

In some settings, ship noise is known to affect whale behavior and the permanent network of hydrophones operated by the OOI and Ocean Networks Canada will provide an opportunity to study whether whales are avoiding the shipping lanes to Asia.

Seafloor microplastic hotspots controlled by deep-sea currents

New research has revealed the highest levels of microplastic yet recorded on the seafloor, with up to 1.9 million pieces in an area of just one square metre.

WHOI joins effort to accelerate marine life protection technology

From hydrophones attached to buoys or autonomous vehicles, to a passive acoustic monitoring system, WHOI scientists and engineers have developed innovative methods to monitor marine mammals in real time.
