The decline marks a significant departure from decades of slow population growth following the end of commercial whaling.

The study, conducted by a team of marine biologists led by Ted Cheeseman, found that the decline in humpback whale numbers coincided with the onset of a massive ocean heat wave, colloquially known as 'the blob', which began in 2013 and lasted until 2016. The blob led to widespread die-offs of man

A new study offers fresh insights into leatherback sea turtle migration and foraging patterns along the Northwest Atlantic shelf, with implications for conservation strategies.

Published in the Journal Frontiers in Marine Science, the research tracked 52 leatherback sea turtles from 2017 to 2022 during their migration from the South and Mid-Atlantic Bights during the warmer months to the food-rich areas in the north, near New England and Nova Scotia, Canada, and then their journey back during the winter.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava addressed the issue in a statement posted on social media platform X, revealing that The Dolphin Company had consistently fallen short in maintaining the premises and ensuring the safety and well-being of the animals under their care. She emphasized that the current state of the Miami Seaquarium is deemed unsustainable and unsafe.

Marine scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have discovered a new species of deep-sea worm in the waters near a methane seep about 50 kilometres off Costa Rica's Pacific coast.

Named Pectinereis strickrotti, the worm hails from the ragworm family and is distinguished by their feathery appendages that carry its gills. It was first discovered by Greg Rouse and Bruce Strickrott in 2009 when they were inside the submersible Alvin during an expedition at a depth of 1,000 metres.

Sawfish, recognized for their distinctive long, narrow, flattened rostrum lined with teeth resembling a saw, are among the largest fish species. Often referred to as the “living fossils” of the ocean, they have long been shrouded in mystery due to their elusive nature and unique appearance.
