This ship tried to warn the Titanic about the iceberg. Lanternfish, the Earth’s most abundant vertebrates, may be the ultimate food source. In the ocean’s twilight zone, a fish that could feed the world – or destroy it. What if you could photograph the deepest depths of the sea using a camera powered only by the ocean's soundscape? That's the end goal of a new prototype device developed by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - a wireless, battery-free underwater camera that runs on sound waves. This new underwater camera is powered by sound. However, human-caused climate change is altering the marine environment through changes in temperature, oxygen content and acidity levels, threatening the habitats of these species. 
The world’s oceans are home to more than 240,000 known species, each with specific conditions in which they need to thrive.
Guest post: Why ocean depth is key for how warming will affect marine life. Living on Earth’s Jenni Doering called up Merry Camhi, director of the New York Seascape at the Wildlife Conservation Society and New York Aquarium to learn more about what protecting Hudson Canyon could mean. Hudson Canyon is a vast underwater gorge and ecological hotspot with deep-sea corals that’s being considered for national marine sanctuary status. Swirling waters replenish nutrients in open ocean, a new study finds, and could mitigate some climate change effects. Small eddies play a big role in feeding ocean microbes. Pelagothuria natatrix, meaning swimming sea cucumber, belongs to a group of animals better known for lying around on the seabed like giant, rubbery worms. Wafting through the deep sea is a diaphanous creature that resembles a jellyfish, but is in fact something else entirely. Discovered in the deep: the sea cucumber that lives a jellyfish life. This year’s theme, Explorers of the Deep, focuses on ocean exploration, marine science, and the impact of climate change on our oceans. 4-H Launches 2022 STEM Challenge Focused On Marine Science and Climate Changeĭuring 4-H STEM Month this October, youth from across the country will apply their knowledge, creativity, and innovation to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) topics during the 15th annual 4-H STEM Challenge. Here's why she says that journey is crucial to humanity's future. Dawn Wright is the first Black person to reach the deepest point in the ocean possible for humans to explore. What it's like mapping the deepest parts of the oceanĭr. Croix’s southwest coast - and they’re giddy about it. Scientists witnessed something deeply weird nearly 1,400 feet under the sea off St. Scientists Spot Strange Deep-Sea Urchin Gathering Off St. 
A team of ocean explorers discovered an absolute unit of a shark tooth and it may trace back millions of years to a time when colossal predators roamed the sea.
Giant Shark Tooth Found Deep in the Ocean May Be Millions of Years Old. 
Oddly shaped corals and glass sponges with their concave sides directed towards the current made up the unexpected terrain. In 2017, as part of an expedition by the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, scientists discovered a ‘forest of the weird’ over a mile beneath the Pacific Ocean.
'Forest of the weird' discovered in Pacific Ocean. But in certain places, the sea floor plummets to truly astonishing depths. The Deepest Part of the Ocean Is Practically an Alien PlanetĪlmost three-quarters of our world is covered in saltwater, and, on average, the ocean is about 12,100 feet, or 2.3 miles deep.
