Alfa Laval to acquire NRG Marine to advance innovative anti-fouling technology

NRG Marine’s technology uses ultrasonic microscopic bubbles to cause agitation to reduce fouling and hamper the rebuild of new deposits.

Declining Antarctic sea ice generating more ocean heat loss and storms

A new study shows that the ongoing decline in Antarctic sea ice is leading to more heat loss from the ocean to the atmosphere and an increase in storm activity.

Environmental disaster unfolds after two ships spill tonnes of oil in the Black Sea

The oil spill accident in the Black Sea demonstrates what environmental damage old tankers with Russian oil can cause around Europe

MSC welcomes updated whale chart and reiterates call for vessel re-routing to minimize collision risk

The original Whale Chart focused on helping seafarers plan their voyages and minimize the risk of whale collisions.

Ørsted and Van Oord install innovative and scalable oyster structures in the North Sea

Offshore wind farms provide hard substrate and undisturbed seabed, making them highly suitable locations for restoring the flat oyster population in the North Sea.

Saildrone completes survey of Gulf of Maine to identify potential deep-sea coral habitat

Two Saildrone Voyager uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) gathered data at depths up to 300 meters around the Jordan and Georges Basins.

Southern Ocean absorbing more CO₂ than previously thought, study finds

New research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) has found that the Southern Ocean absorbs more carbon dioxide (CO2) than previously thought.

NOAA to provide $54 million in new funding to address marine debris

The Biden-Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding will bolster NOAA efforts to combat marine debris across the U.S.

RWE tests artificial reefs at offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea

RWE is investigating how artificial reefs at offshore wind farms in the Baltic Sea can affect the marine ecosystem and whether they can create an attractive marine habitat, particularly for blue mussels, algae and fish species.

Giant rogue waves: Southern Ocean expedition reveals wind as key cause

A rogue wave is a single swell that is much higher than nearby waves, which can damage ships or coastal infrastructure.

Ocean currents threaten to collapse Antarctic ice shelves, study finds

The Pine Island and Thwaites ice shelves are among the fastest-changing in Antarctica and are of particular interest due to their vulnerability to warming ocean waters. They act as massive barriers restraining the glaciers behind them from flowing into the ocean.

New AIMS-developed reef monitoring technology used by scientists in Vietnam

Staff from AIMS travelled to Nha Trang to promote and exchange science knowledge to inform sustainable management of Vietnam’s coral reefs which support marine life and the local economy of many coastal communities.
