There are massive "islands" of plastic swirling around our oceans at the moment, the biggest of which is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Yet, researchers have now revealed that there are millions ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

A cold blob of water in the North Atlantic is an ominous sign that a system of currents that regulate the planet's climate could be weakening. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Scientists are testing an ocean energy harvesting kite to generate power from waves. Ocean currents are powerful, constant and close to shore—making them an ideal source for renewable energy. Watch as ...
