How should the sea sound? And how does it sound if you're a fish, a dolphin or a shrimp? What are the noises made by marine animals? What are the impacts of sounds made by humans travelling across the oceans, diving deep to mine for resources, or even waging war across the water?
The Med is getting heatstroke. From May to August last year, nearly the entire surface of the Mediterranean was hit by marine heatwaves. Why are the heatwaves happening, what's the impact on corals and fish, and can we do anything about it?
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
MER-CLUB is an ambitious scientific project which aims to tackle the issue of mercury pollution in marine sediments. Mercury pollution is a global problem with large environmental, socio-economic and health impacts.
Knowing where marine litter comes from is fundamental to achieve a healthy marine environment. And this is exactly what the Finnish EU-funded RoskatPois! (LitterAway!) project set out to do.
Ports are the heart of our global trade, connecting the world and fuelling economic growth. But with this power comes a problem – a massive carbon footprint. As Europe sets sail to becoming climate-neutral by 2050, how can our ports, the gatekeepers of commerce, join this green transition and help
From sails to electric propulsion — new 'green ships' steer away from fossil fuels, showing a way for some marine transportation to reduce their emissions to zero.
And it’s a wrap on the 2022 edition of the #EUBeachCleanup! Another amazing year of clean-ups all around the world, thanks to the efforts of the thousands of people who helped clean-up our ocean and raise awareness about the appalling situation and impact of marine litter.
Plastic pollution in our ocean has devastating consequences for biodiversity, fisheries, tourism and coastal communities. EU has taken many steps to address this problem, either by direct legislative initiatives, by awareness-raising campaigns (such as the ongoing #EUBeachCleanup),
The #EUBeachCleanup campaign, co-organised by the EU, the United Nations and our blue friends, the Smurfs, every year in September, around World Coastal Cleanup Day, is key to raise awareness about marine litter.
