• Shipwrecks, numbering three million globally, create biodiversity hotspots, attracting diverse marine life.
• Microbes on wrecks form biofilms, fostering the growth of marine communities, including sponges and corals.
• Shipwrecks pose ecological threats, such as pollutant release and the potential spread of invasive species.
• Collaborative efforts among scientists, archaeologists, and engineers are crucial for understanding and conserving these unique underwater habitats.

For millennia, humans...

The remains of a 4,000-year-old ship have been found in Italy. A rare stone called ‘black gold’ known as obsidian was also found in this ship. The wrecked ship was found 130 feet below sea level by the underwater unit of the Naples Police in Italy, reports Marine Insight.

The shipwreck is near the Grotto Bianca (Grotta Bianca) sea cave in Capri, Italy. Obsidian gold, a purple-black volcanic glass, was discovered in these remains. It is reported to...

Oceans are enormous bodies of water with a lot of unresolved mysteries. In the water, a great number of ships have sunk and wrecked. Occasionally, in their search for the wreckage, the marine team and researchers discover numerous articles that belonged to individuals who were on board, reports Marine Insight.

In a few instances, people have also discovered rare jewelry and items that were sold for millions of dollars at auctions. A 400-year-old vessel has recently been...

Researchers have been working to identify the origins of a very mysterious shipwreck found on the floor of the Baltic Sea off Lithuania, officials mentioned, marking an unforeseen discovery in waters where fewer than about 20 shipwrecks have been officially registered.

Ignitis Renewables — a branch of the Lithuanian energy company Ignitis Group that particularly focuses on green energy — faced the shipwreck by happenstance as it was surveying the seafloor in that area for a wind...

• The relatively simple technology can cut emissions from ships — and makes for a smoother ride
• Scientists from Cranfield University in the UK are developing a kind of underwater wing for ships.
• It can help decarbonise a sector responsible for more emissions than air travel. 

Known as wave devouring propulsion technology, it is essentially a flapping foil system installed at the bottom of a ship’s hull that helps propel it along. Inspired by the tail fin of a whale, the system harnesses the...

Scientists have discovered a new water body in the middle of the Atlantic, which goes against traditional assumptions about ocean movement. The results are presented in the journal Geophysical Research Letters and show that Atlantic Equatorial Water is a missing phenomenon found in the Pacific and Indian seas.

Unveiling Atlantic Equatorial Water

The previously unknown water mass called Atlantic Equatorial Water forms when ocean currents converge close to the equator. It was not happening in the...
