Jason Hall-Spencer, Professor of Marine Biology at the University of Plymouth, is among the expert commentators in a new international documentary exploring the impact of overpopulation on marine, animal and human life

Study demonstrates reductions in CO₂ could boost the recovery of marine life

World-leading experts in ocean acidification and warming from the University of Plymouth and the University of Tsukuba say making meaningful reductions in CO₂ emissions could help marine life damaged by increasingly acidified oceans to recover.

Scientists join call for major shift in understanding to protect the ocean

Professor of Marine Biology Jason Hall-Spencer and Professor of Oceanography Chris Reid, from the University of Plymouth, are among the authors of a new international report calling for an urgent change in the way we think and talk about the ocean.

Plastics and rising CO2 pose combined threat to marine environment

Research involving the University of Plymouth found that three weeks in the ocean greatly altered the bacterial diversity on plastic bottles.

Future ocean conditions could cause significant changes in marine mussels

Scientists from the University of Plymouth have showed that increased temperature and acidification of our oceans could cause significant physical changes in an economically important marine species

Rising carbon dioxide levels will change marine habitats and fish communities

Researchers from the University of Plymouth and colleagues have showed that elevated dissolved CO2 conditions can lead to a 45% decrease of fish diversity, with a loss of coral-associated species and a rearrangement of feeding behaviour.
