A startling new study reveals that nearly all of the world's oceans—96%—endured extreme heatwaves in 2023. Researchers warn this isn’t just another climate anomaly; it could mark a dangerous tipping point for the planet’s marine ecosystems and weather patterns.

Scientists are sounding the alarm after back-to-back marine heatwaves shattered records in 2023 and 2024. These aren't just temporary spikes—some experts think we're witnessing the beginning of a permanent oceanic transformation. The implications could be catastrophic for marine ecosystems and, by extension, life on Earth as we know it.

A company involved in seabed mining is under legal scrutiny after reports surfaced that it may have benefited from a controversial policy enacted during the Trump administration. Critics argue the policy fast-tracked deep-sea mining permits without proper environmental review, raising concerns about corporate influence and ecological risks.

New satellite data shows that 2023 was the worst year on record for marine heatwaves, with scorching ocean temperatures disrupting ecosystems and livelihoods. Fisheries are taking a hit, aquaculture operations are struggling, and coastal economies that depend on predictable ocean conditions are feeling the strain. Scientists are sounding the alarm—could this be a sign we're hitting a dangerous climate tipping point?

Turns out, the ocean isn’t the lawless frontier we once thought. A new study shows that protected marine areas are actually working to stop illegal fishing—thanks to high-tech surveillance combining AI and satellite data. It’s like giving the ocean a digital watchdog that never sleeps.
