A study reveals that large-scale calving events in Antarctic ice shelves are preceded by prolonged amplifications in flexural stress, driven by ocean swell and reduced sea-ice barriers.

The Ocean Breakthroughs chart a clear course for action, 5 tipping points across marine conservation, renewable energy, shipping, aquatic food, & coastal tourism that could deliver up to 35% of the emission cuts needed by 2050.

The government is now shifting its restoration strategy, but even the best restoration efforts may struggle to keep up with rapidly increasing threats like warming, acidification and pollution.

"Holding on to 1.5°C is not a goal or target.
It is a limit, a #PlanetaryBoundary
Above 1.5°C we enter, with high certainty, the terrain of dangerous #ClimateChange.
() we have to do everything we can to limit warming below 1.5°C, even if we temporarily exceed it in a period of overshoot"

As warming strengthens stratification and limits nutrient supply, marine productivity is falling, threatening carbon uptake and the foundation of ocean food webs.

Even under optimistic climate scenarios, widespread degradation is expected by 2100, underscoring the urgency of combining emission cuts with targeted reef resilience strategies.
