- 8Humans have fished tuna for 44,000 years, research findsβΌHooked on tuna: People have been harvesting these ocean predators for 44,000 years
New research indicates people have been harvesting tuna for roughly 44,000 years, far earlier than previously thought. Reports from Science X, Phys.org and The Conversation describe archaeological evidence showing ancient coastal communities targeted these fast ocean predators, challenging assumptions that deep-sea fishing is a relatively recent development. The findings are drawing attention for what they suggest about early human seafaring skill and the long history of human reliance on marine resources.
- 9Deep Gulf of Mexico still unrecovered sixteen years after Deepwater HorizonβSixteen years after Deepwater Horizon, the deep Gulf of Mexico still has not recovered. A study published Monday in PNAS
A new study published Monday in PNAS finds the deep Gulf of Mexico has still not recovered sixteen years after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Researchers report that fish numbers in waters from the surface down to 5,000 feet, including the ocean's twilight zone, fell 63.5% in the year after the disaster, and populations have not bounced back since. The findings renew concern about the long-term ecological toll of major oil spills.

A commentary from Fair Observer argues that the world's oceans, like artificial intelligence, are expanding beyond the reach of effective governance, with no binding rules to control how either is exploited. The piece draws a parallel between unregulated deep-sea activity and the race to develop AI without meaningful safeguards, warning that both frontier domains are being shaped by commercial and strategic interests before societies have agreed on oversight.

DIVE Magazine has published a true-or-false quiz testing readers' knowledge of ocean mysteries, covering well-known claims and misconceptions about the sea. The format invites audiences to separate fact from fiction on topics such as deep-sea creatures, unexplained phenomena and maritime legends, as part of the magazine's ongoing coverage of diving and marine science.
- 13Malaysia Sabah researchers team with OceanX for deep-sea studyβπ ICYMI: Researchers from Universiti # Malaysia Sabah teamed up with # OceanX to study # ocean waters down to 1,500 m. U
Researchers from Universiti Malaysia Sabah have partnered with the OceanX expedition vessel to explore ocean waters off Malaysia down to 1,500 metres. Using crewed submersibles, seafloor mapping tools, and environmental DNA sampling, the team is collecting deep-sea data intended to link deep ecosystems with nearby shallow coral reefs, filling a major gap in knowledge of the region's marine biodiversity.
- 14Study Traces a Billion Years of Oxygen and Ocean HabitatsβΌThe Evolution Of Oxygen, Temperature, And Marine Aerobic Habitat For Animals Over The Last Billion Years Of Earth History
A new study reconstructs how oxygen levels and temperature evolved over the last billion years of Earth's history, and how these changes shaped the marine aerobic habitat available to animals. By modeling these environmental factors together, researchers outline when oceans became habitable enough for complex animal life and how conditions shifted across deep time.
