NSF Seafood Engine in New England Lands Award to Boost Fisheries and Aquaculture
The US National Science Foundation (NSF) announced a major new award to bolster the American seafood industry through the NSF Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines) program within the Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (NSF TIP). The NSF Seafood Engine in New England, led by the Portsmouth-based non-profit NERACOOS, is a collaboratio
USF Study Maps Key Feeding Grounds Fueling Atlantic Tarpon Migrations
Atlantic tarpon are famous for their long-distance migrations, traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. But where they feed along those journeys has remained largely unknown until now.
Limpet Shells Reveal How Deep-Sea Vent Creatures Cross Vast Ocean Distances
Hydrothermal vents on the bottom of the ocean host a broad range of rare and unusual ecosystems. They can be spread very far apart, and yet there will often be overlap in the creatures which inhabit them. Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, answer a long-standing question in this field about how creatures migrate between hydrothermal v
VIMS and NOAA Partner to Fill Chesapeake Bay Shallow-Water Mapping Gaps
A new partnership between William & Mary's VIMS & Batten School and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) turns routine vessel operations and lost crab trap removal into a new source of valuable bathymetric data.
En-ROADS Simulator Adds Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement as Climate Mitigation Tool
Ocean Visions has announced the launch of a new Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) feature within the widely used En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator, created by Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan. Developed in partnership with Climate Interactive, the OAE feature allows users of the accessible, science-based platform to explore how OAE could contribute to t
MBARI Study Links Swimming Behavior to Eye Evolution in Deep-Sea Amphipods
Hyperiid amphipods are a small but anatomically diverse group of shrimp-like crustaceans with remarkable adaptations for life in the ocean's twilight zone. A team of researchers from MBARI, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, GEOMAR, the University of Western Australia, and the Florida Museum of Natural History leveraged 30 years of video obs

First 3D Images of Scott’s Ship Terra Nova Captured by WHOI and RCGS Expedition
An expedition led by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS) in partnership with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has obtained the first 3D images of the wreck of Terra Nova, the last ship of famed Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott. The wreck is located about 10 nautical miles off the southern tip of Greenland. The images were
