CMA CGM Group partners with Plastic Odyssey to build a future free of plastic waste

The Group will support Plastic Odyssey on its three-year voyage to the world's most plastic-polluted countries.

Scientists expose vulnerabilities of critical Antarctic ice shelf

Pine Island Ice Shelf in West Antarctica, which holds back enough ice to raise sea levels by 0.5 metres, could be more vulnerable to complete disintegration than previously thought.

Whale-protecting ocean drones accelerate offshore wind

Saildrone will use ground-breaking technology and uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) to protect marine wildlife, enabling the acceleration of offshore wind energy.

NOAA, NFWF award $2.6 million for largest U.S. marine national monument

The site is home to thousands of species of fish and wildlife, some that are found nowhere else

PPA reiterates ban on single-use plastics in all controlled ports

The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) is reiterating its ban on all single-use plastics at all ports under its jurisdiction as it moves forward to sustainable port operations.

Report: The fishing industry in Norway has larger CO2 emissions than civil aviation

No one has looked at these numbers before. It has been said that emissions need to be cut by 50 per cent, but no one knows what total we are cutting from, or where we are going.

New seafloor images off the West Antarctic Ice Sheet upend understanding of Thwaites Glacier retreat

This massive ice stream is already in a phase of fast retreat (a "collapse" when viewed on geological timescales) leading to widespread concern about exactly how much, or how fast, it may give up its ice to the ocean.

Zombie ice from Greenland will raise sea level 10 inches

Greenland's rapidly melting ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10.6 inches (27 centimeters)—more than twice as much as previously forecast—according to a study published Monday.

NOAA, NFWF announce $7.7 million in grants to support coastal resilience

These grants will support the design and implementation of projects to enhance the resilience of coastal communities and improve habitat for fish and wildlife

Scientists identify bioindicators for monitoring plastic pollution in the ocean

With an estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic waste escaping to our oceans each year, plastic pollution adversely affects the environment, climate, and even our health.

Arctic warming four times faster than rest of Earth: study

The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet over the last 40 years, according to research that suggests climate models are underestimating the rate of polar heating.

Warm waters marching south threaten the East Antarctic Ice Sheet

Whilst scientists have a good understanding of how the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is melting and contributing to sea level rise, far less was known about the East, until now.
