Why is plastic pollution so dangerous for our seas? And what’s the most unexpected find in Venice’s canals?

In recent summers, European beaches have seen a rise in jellyfish populations, prompting both curiosity and concern. Why are these gelatinous creatures appearing in greater numbers, what implications does this have for marine ecosystems and coastal communities — and is there a silver lining

Imagine if policymakers, businesses, and society had access to a virtual twin copy of our oceans to explore? This AI tool could be used to simulate realistic what-if scenarios based on scientific knowledge.

The Ocean Calls Podcast is back! This third season, we’ll talk about the environmental catastrophe in the Black Sea, help you trace where your seafood comes from, and explore how AI can offer insights into everything from the pathways of plastic pollution to the lives of teenage turtles.

Approximately 10 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year — often originating on land and carried into the sea by rivers. But increasingly, people across Europe and around the world are taking matters into their own hands to stop the flow of plastic litter well before it reaches

The ocean is not a world of silence; underwater spaces are filled with a variety of sounds, both natural and artificial. Some of these underwater noises, such as those associated with shipping or the industrial development of the seabed, pose a growing threat to animals

The ocean provides us with food, water and air. Its health directly affects our health. While new research shows positive effects of interaction with coastal nature, new potential threats are causing growing concern

What do Coast Guards do for maritime security in the EU waters? In this episode of Ocean, we’ll follow the COASTEX-22 joint exercise in Croatia, where vessels, helicopters, airplanes and a number of observers from European Coast Guard authorities test various coast guard functions.

In this episode of Ocean, we go to Longyearbyen and Ny-Ålesund, the world’s northernmost settlements in Svalbard, where climate change is happening 3 times as fast as the global average, while toxic pollution originating in industrial countries increasingly undermines the health of the local fauna.

In this episode, we meet Portuguese fishers and researchers looking for ways to modernise the sector — from a simple “scarecrow of the seas” preventing accidental bycatch of marine birds (EU-funded MedAves Pesca project) to high-tech underwater robots that rely on acoustic sensing and artificial
