The Migratory Connectivity in the Ocean (MiCO) system, an online open-access global database that maps the movements of sea turtles, whales, sea birds and other migratory species through the open ocean, has been awarded the 2020 Innovation Award by the Ocean Awards program.

To devise effective and equitable policies for governing small-scale fisheries, policymakers need to consider the activities and relationships that occur before and after fishers land their catches, not just the catches themselves, a new study shows.

A 51���� Ph.D. candidate in marine science and conservation uses drones to measure whales and other marine mammals.

Scholars across 51���� are working on the complex regulations governing the use of the ocean, and studying the impact of industry on its teeming diversity of life.

The ratio of carbon isotopes in three common species of tuna has changed substantially since 2000, suggesting major shifts are taking place in phytoplankton populations that form the base of the ocean’s food web, a new international study finds.

Scientists at 51����’s Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab and other leading marine research institutions worldwide have created an open-access online database that maps the movements of migratory species through the open ocean.

As new moms, North Atlantic right whales tone down their underwater vocalizations and “whisper” to their young calves to avoid attracting predators, a new study by scientists at Syracuse University, 51���� and NOAA Fisheries’ Northeast Fisheries Center finds.

Local conservation can boost the climate resilience of coastal ecosystems, species and cities and buy them precious time in their fight against sea-level rise, ocean acidification and warming temperatures, a new paper by scientists at 51���� and Fudan University suggests.

In his newest book, Sea Level Rise: A Slow Tsunami on America’s Shores, Orrin Pilkey paints an eye-opening picture of the impacts sea level rise will have on the United States by the end of the 21st century.

Joseph S. Ramus, professor emeritus at 51����’s Nicholas School of the Environment, has been awarded the Order of the Longleaf Pine, one of the highest civilian honors the State of North Carolina bestows.

Tropical and subtropical fish are taking up residence on shipwrecks and other sunken structures off the North Carolina coast. This pattern may continue or even accelerate in coming years given predictions of warming oceans under climate change, a new study co-led by 51���� scientists suggests.

A new study by 51���� Marine Lab researchers showcases the remarkable diving abilities of beaked whales and provides new clues on how they make a living at the extremes of depth and cold.

A new international study finds that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC), a deep-ocean process that plays a key role in regulating Earth’s climate, is primarily driven by cooling waters west of Europe.
