New research shows how rapidly proliferating turf algae are waging 'chemical warfare' to inhibit the recovery of kelp forests along Maine's warming coast. As the ocean warms across its temperate ...
While the marine heatwaves killing the kelp ecosystem were alarming on their own, the researchers have discovered a new ...
As kelp forests decline in the warming coastal waters of the Gulf of Maine, turf algae – dense mats of red algae replacing kelp in many regions – may chemically interfere with kelp recovery, a new ...

Expert sounds alarm as harmful species spread in US waterways: 'They eat everything in their path'
Researchers warn this transition isn’t unique to the state. Expert sounds alarm as harmful species spread in US waterways: ...
Shane Farrell has spent the better part of the last three years underwater, diving off the coast of Maine. The University of Maine Ph.D. student and his team at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean ...
Researchers from the University of Tsukuba find that in the presence of ocean acidification, feedback loops keep degraded turf algal states stabilized, inhibiting the recruitment of coral and other ...
Turf algae coats the surface of a coral reef section near Moorea, French Polynesia in what could be a common look by century’s end. Marine ecologist Maggie Johnson, a recent PhD graduate from Scripps ...

Researchers have found that ocean acidification limits algal communities to a state of low diversity and complexity. Communities grown in waters rich in carbon dioxide (CO2) were dominated by turf ...
The Algal Turf Scrubber (ATS) is one of the marine ecology field’s best-kept secrets. Invented by Smithsonian scientist Dr. Walter Adey in the 1980s, the ATS harvests algae from large bodies of water ...
An exceptionally large coral—a structure made up of small marine animals and calcium carbonate—discovered in the Great Barrier Reef is described in Scientific Reports this week. It is the widest and ...
