Deep-sea metals may be source of oxygen for life on ocean floor

Deep-ocean polymetallic nodules may provide oxygen for deep-sea life and are crucial for green-energy technologies, impacting global decisions on deep-sea mining.

Deep-sea mining: why is interest growing and what are the risks?

Deep sea mining is a method of extracting minerals from the seabed at depths greater than 200 meters.
The demand for minerals needed for the energy transition is expected to double by 2040, leading to interest in deep sea mining.

Ocean Trawling May Release Locked-Away Carbon

Bottom trawling releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
Regulations on where and how fishermen trawl can have an immediate impact on reducing carbon emissions.

Neither Plants nor Animals, These Ocean Organisms Protect Their Ecosystems against Heat Waves

Mixotrophs, with both plant and animal characteristics, may play a critical role in combating marine heat wave impacts on ocean ecosystems.

Blue jellyfish-like critters arrive in Bay Area. When will they show up on SoCal beaches?

By-the-wind sailors, or Velella velellas, are washing up on Bay Area beaches due to warming waters, with an expected arrival on Southern California beaches soon.
The spike in by-the-wind sailors washing ashore is attributed to warming waters and increased nutrients from human-caused climate change, leading to accelerated reproduction of these creatures.

NASA's Launches Mission to Study Earth's 'Invisible Universe'

NASA has launched the PACE mission to study the microscopic life forms and particles in Earth's atmosphere.
The PACE mission could revolutionize our understanding of global warming, ocean ecosystems, and threatened marine life.

Trawling Boats Are Hauling Up Ancient Carbon From the Ocean Depths

Trawl nets used in fishing release double the annual fossil fuel emissions produced by the entire world's fishing fleet.
At least 55-60% of the CO2 created by trawling ends up in the atmosphere within nine years of being stirred from the seafloor.
