The Aqaba Underwater Military Museum was made in 2019 when the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) sank military vehicles .

Just a few days of contact with healthy coral could be enough to jumpstart recovery after bleaching – new study.

This isn’t a submerged civilisation that has been lost to history but a unique type of hydrothermal system.

More than twenty years ago, the USS Oriskany was scuttled (sunk on purpose) to create what is now called the Great Carrier Reef.

There’s an enormous, 300-year-old sponge garden hidden in the depths of the Central Arctic Ocean. Scientists had never seen it until 2022.

Rising seas submerged these forests in Mozambique, now they serve as wildlife hotspots, with similar levels of biodiversity to coral reefs.

Named after the kittiwake gull, the ship was commissioned in 1946 as a submarine rescue vessel.  It is now an artificial reef.

Oyster reefs could add around $12 trillion to global economies if they were better managed and protected, new study finds.

In the 1970s, this conservation project seemed like a great idea. Decades later, it’s caused untold damage

When an undersea volcano erupted in the Pacific Ocean, it created a vast raft of floating rock

High-speed imaging has helped scientists better understand how baby oysters feed, but what they’ve found could be a problem for future oyster populations.

Some sink by accident – during wars or rough seas – while others are sent to the seafloor on purpose: a process known as scuttling.

Marine researchers are using unsupervised AI algorithms to identify marine animals based on the noises they make. But not all the sounds they pick up can be identified.

As the oceans warm, coral reefs face an uncertain future. Scientists are piecing together the current state of their global decline.

The photographer was amazed to see the newborn humpback whale launch itself into the air as it learnt to breach.

When this wildlife photographer set up his GoPro in the waters of French Polynesia, a funny fish came to investigate.

An expedition team were filming in a remote kelp forest in Patagonia when this happened.

From cone snails to crocs, be wary of these deadly marine animals – all found in the Pacific Ocean

As the world’s coral reefs succumb to warming waters, scientists are racing to save these fragile animals. Melissa Hobson witnesses the secrets of coral spawning... in an unlikely location.

A sting burns like fire and they can turn their throat inside out to gobble down a meal. This is the fireworm
