In two recent studies, researchers suggest a weakening ocean current system is to blame for a persistent cold spot in the ...

A new study suggests there is far more plastic in the Atlantic Ocean than scientists estimated earlier, especially tiny pieces of plastic that can end up inside fish and other animals.

For over a century, scientists have noticed something unusual in the North Atlantic Ocean. While most oceans around the globe ...

Sure, we all know there's always more fish in the sea. But there's also plenty more plastic garbage. Since 1957, scientific gear used to measure plankton in the north Atlantic Ocean has been ...

The anomaly, located just south of Greenland, is — perhaps counterintuitively — called the North Atlantic Warming Hole, and ...

Synthetic microplastic abundance and composition along a longitudinal gradient traversing the subtropical gyre in the North Atlantic Ocean. Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022; 185: 114371 DOI: 10. ...

Our trash has reached the stomachs of some of the deepest fish in the ocean. Researchers said 73% of deepwater fish in the North Atlantic Ocean had eaten particles of plastic, known as microplastics.

A recently released 22-year-long study provides a clear look into the huge problem of plastic pollution in the Atlantic Ocean, but raises an important question: After it enters the water, where is ...

The air you’re breathing today is much cleaner than it was four decades ago, but that healthier air is driving an increase in Atlantic storms, according to researchers. In a study published this ...

Sea life has been struggling for years because of pollution, overfishing and climate change.A now deleted Instagram post claimed the world’s oceans are in even more trouble.. The July 21 ...

According to the study, there was an estimated 50% drop in particulate air pollution between 1980 and 2020 largely due to efforts by the U.S. and Europe. That reduction in pollution results in ...
