Too much carbon dioxide in the ocean, as we know, is not good for it long-term. But, with the help of brown algae, less of that CO2 will return back into the atmosphere. Check out the article below to learn more!

Brown algae take up large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air and release parts of the carbon contained therein back into the environment in mucous form. This mucus is hard to break down for other ocean inhabitants, thus the carbon is removed from the atmosphere for a long time, as researchers at...

Whales today, such as the humpback whale, will migrate thousands of miles to mate and to give birth to their offspring. A recent study has found potential evidence of ancient ichthyosaurs using a similar route and strategy for mating and birthing. Read more about this study with the link below.

Today’s marine giants make massive migrations across the ocean to breed and give birth in waters where predators are scarce, with many congregating year after year along the same stretches of coastline. A new suggests that nearly 200 million years before giant whales evolved, school bus-sized mari...
