Mussel and seaweed aquaculture doesn't just provide a low-impact source of food for humans – it can also bolster biodiversity by creating habitat for wild fish species, according to new research.

As the ocean becomes unfriendly for shellfish, seaweed could offer a solution.

Kelp soaks up excess nutrients like nitrogen and oxygenizes the waters around it. It can also pull 5 - 20X more carbon from the atmosphere than terrestrial crops.

The Tropical Atlantic has never been this hot before in May.

A severe marine heatwave has developed across much of the Tropical Atlantic and Caribbean, with water temperatures up to 5-7°F above normal in some areas.

Water temperatures in the Caribbean have already exceeded peak hurricane season levels (mid-September). This will have significant implications for marine life and hurricane season.
