NOAA and partners showcase ocean action at the UN Ocean Decade Conference

March 19, 2024

The ocean might seem like a distant and vast expanse, but its health directly impacts each and every one of us. The ocean provides sustenance for billions of people worldwide, supporting livelihoods, economies, and cultural practices. Protecting ocean ecosystems is essential for maintaining biodiversity and preserving the wonders of the natural world, and sustaining life on earth.

Landmark study indicates weakening of ocean carbon sink

August 25, 2023

A landmark study published last week demonstrates that the ocean’s role as a carbon sink and its ability to store anthropogenic, or human-caused, carbon may be weakening. A collaboration among international researchers led by Jens Daniel Müller, Ph.D. (ETH Zurich), this study captures a snapshot of three decades of global interior ocean measurements to determine the change in ocean storage of carbon emitted due to human activity and what it suggests about the future under a changing climate.
