A new United Nations assessment of ocean health documents a “deepening crisis” as climate change, pollution, overfishing and biodiversity loss threaten marine ecosystems crucial to human survival. The ...

Living in a U.S. coastal county bordered by ocean waters with very high concentrations of microplastics may increase the risk of heart and metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, coronary artery ...

The sea breeze, magical evenings, blissful rains — living near the ocean is almost as perfect as a dream. But all that serenity may come at the cost of your health. A recent study found that people ...

Plastic waste in the ocean can break down into microplastics, which researchers measured near U.S. coastlines to study possible links to higher rates of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Scientists from the Department of Geography and Environmental Science at Queen Mary University of London have developed a simple model to show how buoyant plastic can settle through the water column ...

When desert winds stir up dust from the Salton Sea's exposed lakebed, nearby communities suffer from increased air pollution. The deterioration coincides with reduced flows into California's largest ...

Mangrove stands are crucial for sustaining biodiversity, providing habitats for various species, including fish, birds, and endangered marine mammals. Mangrove ecosystems act as natural barriers ...

The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (Sepa) said routine water testing had found high levels of bacteria last week.
