Can AI Make Conservation More Transparent?

Artificial intelligence can help make marine conservation more transparent by turning complex ocean data into insights that communities, researchers and funders can understand and evaluate. From tracking reef restoration and habitat change to identifying environmental threats, AI offers new ways to...

How Citizen Science Can Expand Ocean Monitoring

Citizen science can strengthen ocean monitoring by expanding data collection across locations and periods that traditional methods may not adequately cover. Coastal communities, divers, fishers and other ocean users can contribute observations on marine litter, biodiversity, habitats and environment...

Why Healthy Oceans Matter for Food Security

Oceans are vital to global food security, providing essential protein and micronutrients to billions. Climate extremes, marine toxins, unequal seafood distribution, and unsustainable practices threaten this lifeline. Biodiversity, science-based management, and sustainable aquaculture are key to resi...

How Digital MRV Could Transform Environmental Project Verification

Digital MRV is transforming environmental project verification by combining satellite imagery, remote sensing, drones, sensors, AI and geospatial systems. These technologies enable more frequent monitoring, faster detection of environmental changes and more efficient, risk-based verification. Rather...

The Next Antibiotic May Be Hidden in Coral Reefs

Coral reefs are recognized not only for their visible biodiversity, but also for their vast, unexplored microbial communities that could offer a new source of medical compounds to combat growing antimicrobial resistance. A 2026 study published in Nature analyzed microbial genomes from hundreds of co...
