Humpback Whale’s Unprecedented 8,000-Mile Migration Shatters Records
A humpback whale has been tracked on an unprecedented 8,000-mile migration, breaking records for the longest documented journey between breeding grounds. Scientists suggest the movement might be due to climate change affecting food and mating behaviours. AI-driven photo tracking through HappyWhale.com played a key role in identifying the whale’s ...

Irminger Sea’s Crucial Role in Atlantic Ocean Current Collapse Identified
A new study highlights the vital role of the Irminger Sea in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Increasing meltwater from the Arctic is weakening this critical ocean current, which regulates global climate. The research suggests that disruptions in the Irminger Sea could cause widespread climate shifts, including cooling in the...

World's Largest Ocean Predator-Prey Marine Event Captured Off Norway's Coast
In a first-of-its-kind discovery, MIT scientists observed a massive predator-prey event in Norway, where millions of cod pursued spawning capelin. The event highlights the critical role of capelin in the marine food chain, providing sustenance for predatory fish like Atlantic cod. However, as Arctic ice retreats due to climate change, capelin face ...

New Study Reveals Weaker Atlantic Current Could Mitigate Arctic Warming
Recent research from UC Riverside reveals that a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could limit Arctic temperature increases by up to 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. While this slowdown may offer some relief, ongoing threats to Arctic wildlife and potential global weather disruptions remain a serious concern. ...

Study Warns Melting Arctic Ice Could Disrupt Ocean Currents in Europe
Scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway have issued a stark warning regarding the impact of melting Arctic sea ice on global ocean circulation patterns. Their recent study highlights that significant inflows of freshwater from melting sea ice into the Nordic Seas have historically led to dramatic cooling in northern Europe. By analysing...

Orcas Targeting Boats in Iberian Peninsula Might Be Practising Hunting Techniques
Recent research suggests that orcas in the Iberian Peninsula may be using yachts as practice targets rather than simply attacking for revenge or play. This theory proposes that young orcas are practising their hunting techniques on sailboats, particularly targeting the rudders. Since 2020, there have been numerous reports of orcas ramming and damag...

Atlantic Ocean Might Be Undergoing a Rapid Cooling Near Equator And Scientists Do Not Know Why
A significant portion of the Atlantic Ocean near the equator experienced a rapid and unprecedented cooling over the summer months, leaving scientists puzzled about the cause. While the temperatures in the area have started to climb back to normal levels, the reasons behind this sudden drop remain unclear. The cold patch, which appeared in early Jun...

Extinct Walrus-like Mammal Discovered in Atlantics, Provides New Insights into Marine Evolution
Recent findings have unveiled Ontocetus posti, an extinct walrus-like mammal that lived 2.2 million years ago. Led by Dr. Mathieu Boisville from the University of Tsukuba, this discovery, made from fossils found in Norwich, UK, and Antwerp, Belgium, provides fresh insights into the evolutionary history of walruses. Initially misidentified, the foss...
