Oceans are home to an extraordinary diversity of life and play a fundamental role in the health of our planet, yet they are increasingly affected by pollution, warming waters and the spread of invasive species. Understanding these changes is essential to protecting marine ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
In this special, we explore the science of oceans and marine life, from the essential role of seaweeds and the biodiversity hidden in a drop of seawater to plastic pollution, warming Mediterranean waters, invasive species and the growing impact of Sargassum on Caribbean coasts.
