Marine Life & Ocean Fauna

The Great Barrier Reef, home to thousands of marine species, has lost about 50% of its coral cover in the past three decades due to rising ocean temperatures, acidification, and human activities . In response, 3D printing technology is being hailed as a revolutionary tool for restoration. Projects like those from Reef Design Lab and Archireef use customizable, porous...

The Pacific Ocean, covering over 60 million square miles, has long been a hotspot for illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, which depletes fish stocks and endangers species like bluefin tuna and sea turtles. Recent advancements in AI-driven drones and satellite technologies offer hope for enforcement, enabling real-time detection across remote waters. According to a July 2025 Science journal...

In 2025, the urgency of marine biodiversity loss in West Africa has reached a tipping point, with overfishing exacerbating the impacts of climate change and pollution. According to data...

Deep-sea mining targets polymetallic nodules and other resources on the ocean floor, essential for batteries and renewables, but at a potential cost to biodiversity. As of mid-2025, the ISA...

  Deep-sea mining targets polymetallic nodules on the ocean floor, rich in metals essential for electric vehicles and solar panels. Amid escalating demand, proponents hail it as a solution to...

Deep-sea mining has emerged as a flashpoint in global environmental discourse, driven by the demand for metals like nickel, cobalt, and manganese crucial for batteries and renewable technologies. Glencore,...

The deep sea, covering over half the world's ocean floor, holds immense ecological value as a carbon sink and biodiversity hotspot, yet it faces unprecedented threats from mining for...

Introduction Deep-sea mining involves extracting polymetallic nodules from ocean floors deeper than 4,000 meters, targeting metals like cobalt and nickel essential for batteries and tech. Proponents argue it's necessary to...

Introduction In the vast, blue depths of our planet's oceans, coral reefs thrive as some of the most vibrant and ecologically significant ecosystems on Earth. However, they face unprecedented threats...

  Ecological Footprint: Unseen and Long-lasting The allure of deep-sea mining is its potential to provide materials with supposedly lower immediate environmental impact compared to terrestrial mining. Yet, data reveals a...

The Push for Underwater Riches Norway has earmarked approximately 281,000 square kilometers of its continental shelf for potential mining, targeting essential metals like cobalt and manganese which are pivotal for...
