A global coral bleaching event that began last year has quickly grown to the largest on record, according to a US agency, with the impacted reef area continuing to grow.

New Zealand said Sunday it had rescued all 75 sailors from a navy vessel that ran aground and sank off Samoa while conducting a reef survey.

Just as individual humans handle stress differently, so do corals. Even coral colonies of the same species, growing side by side, vary in their tolerance to pressures such as heatwaves.

Escape the ordinary and dive into the underwater world to experience the natural beauty beneath the ocean.

The Great Barrier Reef will continue to deteriorate, largely due to climate change, and the window to secure its future is rapidly closing. That is the sobering conclusion of a major new report into the state of the reef.

Recent studies reveal that this year's sea surface temperatures around the Great Barrier Reef are the highest in over 400 years, driven by human-induced climate change.

The Great Barrier Reef, one of Earth's most significant natural treasures, is currently experiencing its hottest sea surface temperatures in four centuries. According to a study published in Nature, the first quarter of 2024 recorded a temperature rise of 0.19°C above the previous peak. This extreme warming is directly linked to extensive coral bl...

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr on Sunday condemned Chinese air force actions in waters of the South China Sea claimed by both countries, calling the actions "unjustified, illegal and reckless".

The Philippines and China have agreed on an "arrangement" for resupplying Filipino troops stationed on a South China Sea reef, Manila said Sunday, after a series of escalating confrontations in the disputed waters.

Indonesian conservationist Nyoman Sugiarto has been working for 16 years to preserve coral on the reefs of Bali, but the frequency of mass coral bleachings he says is now devastating.

Chinese coast guard sailors brandishing knives and axes attacked unarmed Philippines soldiers on a naval vessel near a strategic reef in the South China Sea, dramatic new footage released by Manila showed.

Researchers at the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) have recorded widespread bleaching affecting the coral reefs in the Lakshadweep Sea due to marine heatwaves.
