Offshore wind farms provide hard substrate and undisturbed seabed, making them highly suitable locations for restoring the flat oyster population in the North Sea.
Understanding the world’s oceanic floor plays a crucial role in navigation, coastal management, and various other applications, including tsunami forecasting and environmental change monitoring.
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.
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.
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.
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.
New research from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, and the University of Toronto in Canada, estimates up to 11 million metric tons of plastic pollution is sitting on the ocean floor.
