Novel strategies for coral restoration
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Miami and a coral nonprofit found that altering the chemical composition of tiles where tiny coral babies grow can increase their rate of survival.
Massive Atlantic Sargassum blooms traced to West Africa
Massive blooms of Sargassum seaweed that have inundated coastlines across the Atlantic since 2011 likely originate off the coast of West Africa—forming years before they are visible and overturning long-standing assumptions about where these events begin.
Dutch royals visit the Rosenstiel School

Ocean eddies are amplifying climate extremes in coastal seas, study finds
New research reveals a powerful yet overlooked driver of climate change: Intensifying ocean eddies. These swirling currents—that break off from major currents—are redistributing heat and nutrients in the ocean and amplifying climate extremes in key coastal ecosystems.
New study reveals hidden ocean chemistry
Findings reveal that nitrogen cycling in marine oxygen-deficient zones is far more dynamic than previously thought Â
Using science to help detect risk
