We discovered numerous large marine bivalve shells (and two chiton shells) that had been cracked recently by sea otters.

As the state’s shrimp fishery is closed for a fifth year, scientists blame climate change, shrimpers fret and locals mourn a beloved treat.

Scientists analyzed 27 extreme weather events from 2016 and found that global warming was a “significant driver” for most of them. We look at five cases.

In dives to the seafloor, scientists have noticed big differences in only a few years.

On a more helpful note, fish farts also are giving researchers and managers clues about fish distributions.

There was no evidence of physical harm to the eight-legged creatures, but there was still plenty of concern as to why they were all abandoning their regular ocean home.
