As scientists reveal we have only explored 0.001 per cent of the deep ocean, an interactive graphic shows what is lurking beneath the waves.

The ocean is split into several different depth zones: the epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, abyssopelagic, and hadalpelagic. Light from the sun only reaches down to the beginning of the ...

Oxygen-starved ocean “dead zones,” where fish and animals cannot survive, have been expanding in the open ocean and coastal waters for several decades as a result of human agricultural and industrial ...

More than one-fifth of the global ocean—an area spanning more than 75 million sq km—has been the subject of ocean darkening over the past two decades, according to new research.

Oxygen-deficient zones in the open oceans shrank during long warm periods in the past, contrary to widespread expectations. This has significant implications for the oceans under human-driven global ...

As the UN’s COP15 talks on biodiversity got under way in Montreal on Wednesday, FRANCE 24 spoke to marine biologist Françoise Gaill about marine “dead zones” and their link to global warming.

Ocean zones. Most ocean life lives above a depth of 660 feet. Nuclear submarines hover around 850 feet below the surface. Whales aren’t usually seen below about 8,200 feet.

Covering latitudes near 40 degrees in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, these zones exhibit accelerated ocean heat increases from 2000 to 2023. This research, led by Dr. Kevin Trenberth ...
