oceans and marine life

A team of scientists will develop a support system for U.S. West Coast marine communities threatened by climate change.

Texas A&M-Galveston professor Jay Rooker will lead a $1.9 million effort to learn more about the Flower Garden Banks and the fish that inhabit the marine sanctuary.

Thanks to its translucent body close in appearance to a related species, the Danionella cerebrum had been able to hide in plain sight. A Texas A&M researcher is among the team of international scientists who named and classified the fish.

Texas A&M-Galveston’s Jay Rooker and David Wells will be part of a team to see if the species is facing declining numbers.

Texas A&M-Galveston marine biologist Daniel Roelke says the algae bloom can be devastating to marine life and can threaten humans.

Currently working in the South Atlantic, the NSF-funded International Ocean Discovery Program expedition saved a turtle while completing its engineering efforts.

Following a successful period of tracking sea turtles in Matagorda Bay, the turtle sighting app is expanding to cover the Texas coast thanks to a partnership between Texas Sea Grant and Turtle Island Restoration Network.

A new research project involving Texas A&M scientists and Project CETI will study the vocalizations of sperm whales.

A Texas A&M study shows weather events carried contaminated water to the Flower Garden Banks sanctuary off the Galveston Coast, much farther than expected.

A Texas A&M-Galveston marine biology professor contributed to a comprehensive work about all of the world’s ecosystems.
