Scientists have uncovered an extraordinary underwater discovery—a vast whale graveyard lying deep beneath the ocean surface. The site, believed to be millions of years old, contains the remains of ancient whales and offers a rare glimpse into prehistoric marine ecosystems.

What caused so many whales to end up in one location? And what can this remarkable find tell us about Earth's distant past?

Illegal fishing leads to the loss of both short and long term social and economic opportunities and to negative effects on food security and environmental protection. Watch to know more.

Illegal fishing becomes a global threat, leads to loss of 26 million tonnes fish annually

On the 5th of June, the International Day for the Fight Against Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing is commemorated. This day aims to raise awareness about the dangers of illegal fishing to marine ecosystems. Interestingly, technology, including artificial intelligence, is emerging as a pivotal force in addressing this worldwide challenge. Here's a closer look at how it's making a difference.

Tech helps deal with illegal fishing

Coral reefs are a part of the world's diverse marine ecosystem. But with the world's oceans consistently warming-up since the beginning of this year, these reefs are facing a host of problems, including severe damage like coral bleaching.

Coral reefs, most diverse marine ecosystem under threat

Planet earth which we call as our home - is warming up. We are on track to surpass the 1.5-degree celsius mark which is a sign of worry. As it can make natural disasters more common. Eventually destroying our biodiversity. Even so, our oceans, which cover some 70 percent of the earth's surface, are affected by the rising global temperatures.

Climate crisis puts marine ecosystem in peril

Amid severe heatwaves in New Zealand last year, scientists said that water around the country's South Island is almost six degrees Celsius (42.8 Fahrenheit) warmer than usual temperature due to climate change, the weather phenomenon La Nina and a series of high pressure.
