New study suggests fish gut microbe helps regulate ocean health
A fish–microbe partnership may produce minerals that help shape the marine carbon cycle
Scientists deploy experimental elkhorn corals to Dry Tortugas to test introduction of new genetic diversity
Collaborative coral restoration project introduces new genetic diversity to help strengthen Florida reefs.
Seaweed integration boosts efficiency and cuts waste in aquaculture, study finds
Researchers provide guidance for aquaculture producers to incorporate seaweed into existing and prospective integrated multi-tropic aquaculture (IMTA) systems
Study finds viral DNA embedded in polar algae may help them survive extreme environments
Viruses are usually known for causing disease. But new research suggests that in some organisms, viral DNA may actually help them survive.
New AI model can assist with early warning for coral bleaching risk
A combined team of atmospheric, coral, and data scientists design and build a six-week heat-stress prediction system for Florida reefs
Stranded Florida dolphins show Alzheimer’s-like brain changes linked to toxic algal blooms
Study links harmful algal bloom toxins to Alzheimer’s-like brain changes in Florida dolphins, raising concerns for marine and human health.
New study documents functional extinction of two critically endangered coral species following record heatwave in Florida
Catastrophic loss of Florida’s staghorn and elkhorn corals highlights accelerating climate pressures for reefs worldwide
Deep-sea fish confirmed as a significant source of ocean carbonate
New research sheds light on the overlooked contribution of the ocean’s most abundant fish to marine carbon cycling. The findings open new avenues for studying deep-sea carbon dynamics and may improve Earth system models.
Scientists call for urgent policy reform to accelerate cross-border coral restoration efforts
New paper published in Science by a team of international scientists urges regulatory reform to accelerate global coral restoration using assisted gene flow—an essential step to safeguard the economic value and coastal protection services that reefs provide.
International collaboration provides hope for the future of Florida and Caribbean coral reefs
Scientists crossbreed Florida and Honduran elkhorn corals to boost genetic diversity—taking a critical first step toward restoring reef resilience in increasingly warmer oceans.
