“A Sea of Hope: How Our Oceans Can Support a Brighter Climate Future”

Join us to learn how College of Biological Sciences researchers at Bodega Marine Lab are advancing our understanding of biodiversity, climate resilience, and ecosystem health—and how these discoveries...

25 Years of Saving White Abalone! White Abalone have been federally protected by the Endangered Species Act since June 28, 2001. Over the past 15 years, the White Abalone Captive Breeding Program has…

Microbial communities in ocean sediments become imbalanced as water temperatures rise, harming seagrass growth, a new study suggests.

Their sleek, torpedo-shaped bodies dive deep and glide gracefully through the sea. On land they “galumph,” rolling back on their hind flippers then belly-flopping forward. Although harbor seals  and…

While they cover less than 1% of the ocean’s surface, the world’s four major upwelling zones are biological powerhouses. Located along the coasts of California, Chile, Portugal, and South Africa, thes...

Why are all those Velella velella — also known as “by-the-wind sailors” — washing up in the Bay Area right now, and where to spot them.

Why are there so many species of coral reef fish? According to a new study, it’s because about 50 million years ago, some fish figured out how to bite food from hard surfaces. Evolution doesn’t procee...

When climate change is faster than the speed of science and unstable funding threatens discovery, UC Davis scientists pivot to try to save important research.

Mikaila Hishaw, a fourth-year marine and coastal science major from Tucson, Arizona, arrived at UC Davis with plans to become a veterinarian. She soon discovered that research offered not just a new w...

Can dying coral be nursed back to life by healthy coral? A new theory from a pair of marine biologists studying how the tiny animals work together is offering fresh hope in the fight to save the world...

A UC Davis study shows that part of the San Fransisco Estuary is teeming with fish food — the managed wetlands of Suisun Marsh. Timing seasonal flood releases from them could feed more fish.

When the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was discovered on a poultry farm in Asia in 1996, there was little indication that it would become so widespread and so destructive. Within 30 yea...

These ten fellowship recipients have bridged the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities with innovative, collaborative projects.

UC Davis researchers are studying why some corals can stand heat and heal from bleaching. The answers could help protect coral reefs from climate change.

This symposium will convene leading scientists, policymakers, land managers, and stakeholders to explore the science and policy of blue carbon—carbon captured and stored in coastal and aquatic ecosyst...
