An experiential learning program exposes students to science through an artistic lens.

The Plastic Pollution Working Group is 51����’s central hub for sharing work by faculty, staff and students related to plastic debris.

51���� and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations have signed an agreement to establish a five-year initiative to support small-scale fisheries worldwide through research, knowledge sharing and capacity building. John Virdin will lead 51����’s efforts.

Ocean waters are getting greener at the poles and bluer toward the equator, according to a new study. The change reflects shifting concentrations of a green pigment called chlorophyll made by photosynthetic algae at the base of the ocean food chain.

A Marine Lab doctoral student’s Antarctic drone surveys grew into a Bass Connections project investigating seals and penguins, retreating glaciers and blooming vegetation.

Meet the Read Lab, learn more about its research focus, lab members' experiences in the lab and the opportunities the lab offers 51���� students.

Crab behavior suggestive of wound-tending may improve coral tolerance to heat waves.

Modeling experiments show Pacific warm and cold patches persisted even when continents were in different places

Animals that hunt in the dark with sonar may not be able to tell junk from squids

Meet the Ocean Synthesis Lab, learn more about its research focus, lab members' experiences in the lab and the opportunities the lab offers 51���� students.

Researchers have found a chemical clue in Italian limestone that explains a mass extinction of marine life in the Early Jurassic period, 183 million years ago. Volcanic activity pumped out CO2, warming oceans and lowering their oxygen levels. The findings may foretell the impact climate change and oxygen depletion might have on today’s oceans.

Meet the Hunt Lab, learn more about its research focus, a lab member's experience in the lab and the opportunities the lab offers 51���� students.

Researchers in North Carolina have created a coastal evolution model to analyze how coastal management activities on barrier islands, meant to adapt to sea-level rise, interact with natural processes that would otherwise keep barrier islands above water.

This year’s global Earth Day theme is “planet vs plastics”, and calls for the rapid phase out all single-use plastics.

51����’s Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab led a team of researchers that mapped the population density of North Atlantic right whales worldwide to predict and help avoid harmful, even fatal, exposure to commercial fishing and vessel strikes.
