Ten European countries invest €7.5 million into research on microplastics in the ocean

Four research projects investigating the impact of plastic particles on the marine environment are selected for funding from ten member countries of the Joint Programming Initiative Healthy and Productive Seas and Oceans (JPI Oceans).

Climate change will bring greater biodiversity to global seas

Tropical marine animals that currently thrive in warm habitats around the equator will have to spread north and south to avoid extinction as global sea temperatures rise, a study has found.

Scientists at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), alongside international partners, modelled data for nearly 13,000 marine species and found that by the end of this century, countries either side of the Tropics would have a

greater variety of marine species, while the Tropics would suffer a nett loss.
