Liveaboards open up some of the best diving in the world. But at a cost to the environment. Discover how much carbon your liveaboard and flights are emitting and how you could offset it
It’s the front line of climate change and could hold the key to predicting global sea level rise, but what goes on at the underwater face of Greenland’s glaciers is a mystery to science.
Restoring whale numbers would mean more iron in the water from their poo, which would mean more phytoplankton, and more carbon dioxide taken up from the atmosphere. Whales once contributed to as much carbon removal as forests of entire continents.
Although some have argued that climate change is so overwhelming that conserving coral reefs on a local scale is futile, study finds local actions magnify the effects of climate-driven heat waves. Local action to conserve coral reefs can help reefs withstand the effects of climate change.
Metals like copper from agricultural runoff and marine paint leaching from boat hulls poses a threat to soft coral sea fans, especially in warming seas.
While plastics and microplastics are a well-known threat to the world's oceans, the effect of...
We all want to protect the oceans from harm and conserve the dive sites we love, but it can be overwhelming knowing where to start. Thankfully it’s easy to make a difference at home and whilst travelling.
