Press Release 04.20.21 MBARI announces construction of new state-of-the-art research ship, R/V David Packard MBARI is embarking on a new chapter in its ocean research with the construction of a state-of-the-art ship named in honor of MBARI's founder. Press Release 12.12.19 Risso’s dolphins balance holding their breath and finding food Using advanced echosounders, MBARI researchers are measuring the distribution, abundance, type, size, and movement of predators and their prey in the deep sea. Press Release 08.30.17 Tracking down the whale-shark highway MBARI oceanographer John Ryan and his colleagues discovered that whale sharks swim across the Eastern Tropical Pacific following fronts—dynamic boundaries between warm and cold ocean waters. Press Release 08.16.17 Larvaceans provide a pathway for transporting microplastics into deep-sea food webs A new paper by MBARI researchers shows that filter-feeding animals called giant larvaceans can collect and consume microplastic particles, potentially carrying microplastics to the deep seafloor. Press Release 07.24.17 New study challenges prevailing theory about how deep-sea vents are colonized Despite their close proximity, two recently discovered hydrothermal vent fields in the Gulf of California host very different animal communities. This finding contradicts a common scientific assumption that neighboring vents will share similar animal communities. Press Release 07.10.17 Undersea robot reveals “schools” of animals in deep scattering layers Throughout the world ocean, animals congregate at certain depths. A new paper in Limnology and Oceanography shows that, rather than consisting of a random mixture of animals, these deep-scattering layers contain discrete groups of squids, fishes, and crustaceans. Press Release 06.05.17 What caused the most toxic algal bloom ever observed in Monterey Bay? In the spring of 2015, Monterey Bay experienced one of the most toxic algal blooms ever. A new paper shows that this bloom became particularly toxic because of an unusually low ratio of silicate to nitrate in Bay Waters. Press Release 05.03.17 Lasers shed light on the inner workings of the giant larvacean New laser technology is allowing MBARI scientists to look into the structure of giant larvaceans--tadpole-like marine animals that are important players in ocean ecosystems. Press Release 04.10.17 New study shows that three quarters of deep-sea animals make their own light In the first quantitative analysis of deep-sea bioluminescence, MBARI researchers Séverine Martini and Steve Haddock show that three quarters of the animals in Monterey Bay from the surface down to 4,000 meters deep can produce their own light. Press Release 12.15.16 MBARI’s seafloor maps provide new information about 2015 eruption at Axial Seamount Axial Seamount, a large underwater volcano off of the Oregon coast, is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, having last erupted in 2015. At the Fall 2016 meeting of the American Geophysical Union, MBARI researchers unveiled a new seafloor map that reveals previously undocumented lava flows from the 2015 eruption. 1 2 3 Next

Press Release 06.05.17 What caused the most toxic algal bloom ever observed in Monterey Bay? In the spring of 2015, Monterey Bay experienced one of the most toxic algal blooms ever. A new paper shows that this bloom became particularly toxic because of an unusually low ratio of silicate to nitrate in Bay Waters. Press Release 05.03.17 Lasers shed light on the inner workings of the giant larvacean New laser technology is allowing MBARI scientists to look into the structure of giant larvaceans--tadpole-like marine animals that are important players in ocean ecosystems. Press Release 04.10.17 New study shows that three quarters of deep-sea animals make their own light In the first quantitative analysis of deep-sea bioluminescence, MBARI researchers Séverine Martini and Steve Haddock show that three quarters of the animals in Monterey Bay from the surface down to 4,000 meters deep can produce their own light. Press Release 12.15.16 MBARI’s seafloor maps provide new information about 2015 eruption at Axial Seamount Axial Seamount, a large underwater volcano off of the Oregon coast, is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, having last erupted in 2015. At the Fall 2016 meeting of the American Geophysical Union, MBARI researchers unveiled a new seafloor map that reveals previously undocumented lava flows from the 2015 eruption. 1 2 3 Next
Press Release 08.16.21 Robotic floats provide new look at ocean health and global carbon cycle MBARI researchers demonstrated how a fleet of robotic floats can revolutionize our understanding of ocean primary productivity. Press Release 06.15.21 MBARI to livestream expedition to deep-sea coral and sponge gardens off Big Sur coast On Wednesday, June 30, at 11:00 a.m. (Pacific), MBARI will livestream its expedition to deep-sea coral and sponge gardens off Big Sur coast. Press Release 04.20.21 MBARI announces construction of new state-of-the-art research ship, R/V David Packard MBARI is embarking on a new chapter in its ocean research with the construction of a state-of-the-art ship named in honor of MBARI's founder. Press Release 12.12.19 Risso’s dolphins balance holding their breath and finding food Using advanced echosounders, MBARI researchers are measuring the distribution, abundance, type, size, and movement of predators and their prey in the deep sea. Press Release 08.30.17 Tracking down the whale-shark highway MBARI oceanographer John Ryan and his colleagues discovered that whale sharks swim across the Eastern Tropical Pacific following fronts—dynamic boundaries between warm and cold ocean waters. Press Release 08.16.17 Larvaceans provide a pathway for transporting microplastics into deep-sea food webs A new paper by MBARI researchers shows that filter-feeding animals called giant larvaceans can collect and consume microplastic particles, potentially carrying microplastics to the deep seafloor. Press Release 07.24.17 New study challenges prevailing theory about how deep-sea vents are colonized Despite their close proximity, two recently discovered hydrothermal vent fields in the Gulf of California host very different animal communities. This finding contradicts a common scientific assumption that neighboring vents will share similar animal communities.
