A new study performed has shown that coral reefs present in remote or protected regions can rapidly recover following mass coral bleaching events...To gain better insight into the effects of climate change on reef functions, the researchers analyzed around 12 reefs in the remote Chagos Islands in

The Government is being accused of taking a weak stance at an international meeting to finalise the rules for mining the deep sea. By participating in drafting regulations, New Zealand is helping to ‘green light’ the emerging industry, marine conservationists say.

Discovering and describing new species is essential to biology researchers and conservationists because they use species as a unit of analysis.
