Egypt to Host UNCCD COP18 in 2028: What a Desertification Summit Means for the Red Sea (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Parties to the UN desertification convention chose Egypt unanimously to host COP18 in 2028. The convention deals with soil, not water, but dust from degraded land falls on the Red Sea and measurably changes what happens there.
Marine Symbiosis in the Red Sea: Five Partnerships and How They Work (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Discover the ocean's most surprising partnerships, where species like a burrow-digging shrimp and its fish lookout depend on each other without trust. From a nearly blind shrimp guiding itself by a goby's tail to cleaner shrimp tending to giant predators, these remarkable symbiotic relationships are driven by specific, intricate mechanisms rather than simple goodwill.
Why “Blue” Doesn't Actually Exist in the Deep Blue Sea (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Discover the "Great Cerulean Deception": the vibrant blue of our oceans and many animals isn't due to paint or pigment, but a fascinating trick of physics. Water absorbs most light, scattering only blue back to our eyes, while creatures utilize intricate structures to precisely reflect blue wavelengths. This structural color means blue is often a property of light itself, not a built-in hue.
Boxing Gloves and a Night Demon: How Sea Creatures Get Their Latin Names (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A crab named after a Roman boxing glove, an anemone named after a night demon, an urchin whose name simply says "of the red sea". Scientific names look arbitrary until you learn that nobody approves them: a name is staked like a mining claim, anchored to one specimen in a museum jar, and settled by whoever published first. Here is how the system works, and why the name you learned keeps changing.
Historic Footage: Drone Captures First-Ever Humpback Whale Birth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
High above the New South Wales coast, drone pilot Alexander Forrest witnessed a truly extraordinary event: the birth of a humpback whale. This marks only the fourth time a humpback birth has ever been filmed, and significantly, the first captured by a drone. This technological milestone provided an intimate, undisturbed view of a multi-tonne giant in her most vulnerable state.
