Zoom into a coral reef and discover photosynthetic algae inside the coral’s cells. Reef-building corals rely on these symbionts for their survival. This stunning animation is perfect for all levels of biology and environmental science classes. Corals get their energy in part from microscopic symbiot

The Florida Reef Tract is the third largest coral reef in the world and a vastly important ecosystem for sustaining underwater life. Scientists are working to combat the crisis in the world’s coral reefs—that is, that human beings have lost 25 to 40 percent of the world’s corals in recent decades du

This Incredible Animation Shows How Deep The Ocean Really Is: Just how deep does the ocean go? Way further than you think. This animation puts the actual distance into perspective, showing a vast distance between the waves we see and the mysterious point we call Challenger Deep.

This is my "Change the World" project for my school environmental science class.

In the near future, the North Pole could truly be relegated to the realm of history. Since scientists started measuring winter sea ice, we’ve lost half a million square miles of it—and for every additional ton of carbon dioxide in the air, about 32 square feet of summer sea ice disappears. Robin

It's a cautionary tale with a twist. Unless we do more to protect them, coral reefs could become extinct by 2050 due to pollution & climate change. This video was released just ahead of the landmark Copenhagen summit on climate change in order to draw attention to the plight of these fragile ecosyst...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has published a report on climate change and the impact it has on remote low lying Pacific Island communities. The Marshall Islands is made up of 29 low lying coral atolls and they are disappearing.

Oceans cover 71% of the planet and are the source of life on Earth. Over a billion people, including some of the poorest in the world, depend on the oceans and wild seafood for survival. But our blue planet is under threat. Each day we remove more than the oceans can replenish. We are draining our o...

Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators from around the world united to urge policy makers to take action on climate change ahead of an upcoming meeting at the United Nation on September 23, 2014.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest accumulation of ocean plastic in the world and is located between Hawaii and California. Scientists of The Ocean Cleanup Foundation have conducted the most extensive analysis ever of this area.
