The first ecosystem model that covers the complete food web of the western Baltic Sea predicts how marine life in the region would react to different fisheries scenarios and additional human ...

Climate change, ocean degradation, and biodiversity loss are causing entire land-sea ecosystems to collapse, and island communities are disproportionately impacted. Removing invasive species from ...

In healthy ecosystems, species populations fluctuate in predictable ways: sea urchins feed on a kelp forest, otters then feed on the urchins, and the kelp regrows. But if the ecosystem loses ...

Restoring and rewilding islands that have been decimated by damaging invasive species provides benefits to not only the terrestrial ecosystem but to coastal and marine environments as well. Linking ...

"We have an ecosystem model that was a part of this sea otter project in the last couple of years, and that can help us predict different scenarios that will help us in management planning for the ...

The underwater mountain is nearly 2 miles tall and supports a thriving deep-sea ecosystem, including a pristine coral garden the size of three tennis courts as well as a sponge garden, Virmani said.

Scientists have discovered a “thriving ecosystem” of strange deep sea creatures on a newly exposed seafloor after an iceberg broke off near the Antarctic. The area, ...
