A new economic analysis found that developing countries pay less for the nutrition in seafood imports than developed countries, largely because developed countries pay a premium for non-nutritional attributes such as convenience. The findings suggest that disruptions to the global seafood trade could affect food and nutritional security in countries that depend on seafood imports for meeting their dietary needs.

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.

For her senior thesis, former Climate Scholar Kendra Rentz studied how physiology affects heat exposure risk among Durham residents. She will continue examining the local impacts of extreme heat as a Ph.D. student at Arizona State University.

The forest’s Blackwood Division is an important training and testing site for members of the Nicholas School’s Marine Robotics and Remote Sensing Lab.

Because most seafood is imported, tariffs will cause Americans to eat less heart-healthy seafood and more heart-unhealthy red meat.

Urban ecologists developed a new approach to understanding biodiversity patterns in cities. The work could inform efforts to improve access to nature’s benefits.

Small-scale fisheries play a significant but overlooked role in global fisheries production and are key to addressing hunger and malnutrition while supporting livelihoods around the world, according to research featured on the cover of Nature.

The vast size of the ocean makes tracking human activity there challenging, but a new study provides a startling glimpse of how extensive this activity has become in recent years and how much of it occurs outside of public monitoring.

Xavier Basurto is broadly interested in how people in small communities successfully organize themselves for collective action. His recent talk described his work in advancing the understanding of non-colonialist sustainability science: the prospects and limitations of self-organization, or self-governance, for social-ecological sustainability, particularly in the Global South.

A new 51±¬ÁÏ study finds that municipal waste incinerators' legacy of contamination could live on in urban soils.

Researchers at 51±¬ÁÏ’s Nicholas School of the Environment and Pratt School of Engineering are co-leading a new National Science Foundation-funded project that aims to boost economic development and climate resilience in coastal North Carolina through nature-based scientific and technological innovations.
