The natural phenomenon of upwelling, which occurs annually in the Gulf of Panama, failed for the first time on record in 2025. A study led by scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institut...

Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) is pleased to announce a Senior Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) position as part of a Leverhulme Trust-funded project ‘Decolonising the Deep Seabed: Counterma...

As straddling stocks shift between EEZs and the high seas due to climate change, fisheries will require adaptive management.

This study shows primary production has significantly decreased in nearly half of the ocean. The authors demonstrate that decadal shifts in ocean color are driven by increasing nutrient limitation of ...

Aquatic invertebrates are a diverse, nutrient-dense, and socio-ecologically important food whose contribution to human nutrition is frequently overlooked. We quantify their contribution to global nutr...

We regularly update our platform to include improved features and new data sets to understand human activity in our ocean.

Understanding the capacity of forests to adapt to climate change is of pivotal importance for conservation science, yet this is still widely unknown. This knowledge gap is particularly acute in high-b...

The identification of tools dated to the time of Homo sapiens associated with microfloral evidence of wet tropical forests indicates that West African forests were occupied by humans much earlier...

An exciting opportunity for a marine scientist to contribute to a Royal Society funded project: Oceanic Subsidies: human and climate drivers of tropical marine food webs.We are seeking a highly motiva...

Project title : Uncovering the role of fisheries management in reducing poverty and malnutrition

A study aimed at revealing the role of small-scale fisheries in sustainable development shows they provide at least 40% of the global fishing catch and affect the livelihoods of 1 in 12 people in the ...

Multispecies coral reef fisheries are typically managed by local communities who often lack research and monitoring capacity, which prevents estimation of well-defined sustainable reference points to....
