Scientists discover 5 million-year-old whale graveyard stretching for hundreds of miles in the Indian Ocean Researchers have discovered a "megasite" of dead whales along with new species of marine life feasting on the corpses. Scientists have discovered a vast whale graveyard stretching for hundreds of miles in the Indian Ocean, with some fossil bones dating back over 5 million years. The deep-sea "megasite," which the researchers have named the Diamantina Zone necropolis, is the most...

A 5.3-million-year-old deep-sea whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone
Abstract Whale falls are biodiversity oases at seabeds1,2,3,4,5,6, yet their record from the oceans has remained sparse and fragmentary6,7. Here we report the discovery of a vast whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone (4,616- to 7,001-m depth), extending about 1,200 km along the sea floor of the southeastern Indian Ocean. This area has a deep and extensive accumulation comprising five modern natural whale-fall communities and 476 fossil cetaceans recorded.
Ocean conservation needs strong relationships, not just targets
Ocean conservation needs strong relationships, not just targets Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor With World Oceans Day coming up on June 8, policymakers and researchers will be thinking about the state of the ocean and efforts to protect marine environments. There is no shortage of global objectives and targets to drive those conversations. The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–30) has advanced 10 challenges to drive action.
NASA satellites reveal major ocean nutrient stress
NASA satellites reveal major ocean nutrient stress Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A new study combining NASA satellite observations, ocean surveys and genetic testing of marine microorganisms found evidence that warming ocean waters may be limiting nutrient availability across much of the global ocean. The researchers report that this nutrient stress affects microscopic marine organisms and could influence marine ecosystems over time. The research, published June 5...
