Australia’s pop'n of #Southernrightwhales has grown substantially since the late 1970s when they began to recover from whaling. But a new study reveals troubling signs that could mark a turning point in the population’s recovery: tinyurl.com/4rd9uu2z

There’s a hidden threat beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet & it could add over 2m to global sea levels by 2300. New research shows subglacial meltwater plays a far bigger role in ice loss than previously thought & it urgently needs considering in modelling: theconversation.com/antarcticas-hi…

Huge congrats to Linda Armbrecht who's received an @Science_Academy Honorific Award, the Dorothy Hill Medal, for her detective work using ancient DNA preserved in the seafloor in polar regions to discover what organisms once lived in our oceans. Dive in: vimeo.com/1069109404

Oceans are at the forefront of many new climate-related projects. But a new study shows the speed they're being developed & expanded is outpacing the ability to govern them effectively - & manage their potential impacts on marine ecosystems & communities tinyurl.com/mtdk9zdd

In our warming oceans, marine species are moving into new areas and ‘re-engineering’ or often destroying those ecosystems, but scientists say the paradox of overfishing sustainably can help: tinyurl.com/3jvsh4hw
