Despite their odd shape, which makes them resemble a tuft of seaweed, common and leafy seadragons grow in the same fashion as other bony fish, new research has found.
A new modeling approach combines machine learning and human insights to map the regions and ports most at risk for illicit practices, like forced labor or illegal catch, and identifies opportunities for mitigating such risks.
New research indicates that sea sponges' growth depends on their oxygen supply, in a manner similar to more complex animals such as fishes.

Sea Around Us presents a multi-objective solution that could lead to the protection of 89% of the ocean’s Representative Biodiversity Areas and 89% of threatened species or about 860 species, all while maintaining access to fishing grounds that provide 89% of the global catch.
