Ocean Warming Threatens Microscopic Phytoplankton Crucial to Marine Ecosystem
New research indicates that Prochlorococcus, a vital phytoplankton responsible for 20% of global oxygen production and half the food in tropical oceans, will drastically decline by as much as 50% in tropical oceans within the next 75 years if surface water temperatures exceed 27.8 degrees Celsius du...

Ocean Warming Threatens Dominant Marine Photosynthesizer
A ten-year study across 200,000 square kilometers of ocean reveals that Prochlorococcus, the smallest and most abundant oxygen-producing organism, may see a 10-37 percent decline in global production by 2100 due to ocean warming, impacting the marine food chain.

Giant Kelp Forest Comeback in Southern California
In Southern California, a 13-year, $5.8 million kelp restoration project has reversed an 80% decline in giant kelp forests by removing millions of purple sea urchins, resulting in the regrowth of 80.7 acres of kelp forest and increased populations of various marine species.

Great Barrier Reef Suffers Record Coral Decline
The Great Barrier Reef experienced its largest coral decline since 1986 due to a record-breaking bleaching event caused by rising ocean temperatures, cyclones, and crown-of-thorns starfish, impacting 124 reefs between August 2024 and May 2025.

Panama's Seasonal Upwelling Fails for First Time on Record
In early 2025, Panama experienced an unprecedented failure of its seasonal upwelling, a phenomenon crucial for marine life and fishing, lasting only 12 days compared to the typical 66 days and reaching only 23°C instead of 19°C, likely due to unusual wind patterns potentially linked to a weak La Niñ...

Ocean Acidification Weakens Shark Teeth, Threatening Ocean Ecosystem
A German study found that ocean acidification, projected to reach a pH of 7.3 by 2300, weakens blacktip reef shark teeth, causing cracks, holes, and root corrosion, potentially impacting their hunting ability and the entire ocean ecosystem.
