The Gulf of Paria lies between Venezuela, and Trinidad and Tobago. It has a surface area of 7,800 km2, an average depth of 20-30 m, and a maximum depth of 180 m. The Dragon's Mouth strait is 14 to 19 km wide, while the Serpent's Mouth is 10 to 14 km wide. #Oceanography

Marine Ecosystem Impacts at 1.5°C

A KAUST global assessment reveals that marine ecosystems suffer severe, year-round ecological disruptions when global warming exceeds 1.5°C.

🎓Mariana Salinas Matus successfully defended her PhD thesis, "The Role of Mesoscale Eddies in Southern Ocean Carbon Uptake Variability Across Space and Time." Congratulations!🎉
🌀Mariana's thesis improves the understanding of the global #CarbonCycle & identifies key mechanisms controlling the variability of #MesoscaleEddies. We're very proud of Mariana & wish her well as she starts a postdoc in @TatianaIlyina's new Department at the MPI for Marine Microbiology.🌊

El Niño is underway, satellite observations show

El Niño, characterized by warmer-than-normal water temperatures in parts of the equatorial Pacific, made its return in June 2026. Observations of sea surface height from the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite that month indicated that the 2026 event was continuing to strengthen.

National Science Foundation reverses decision to dismantle oceans-monitoring network after outcry - WXXV News 25

By  THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The National Science Foundation on Thursday reversed a decision to dismantle a sprawling ocean monitoring network after vigorous objections from Democratic lawmakers and scientists who rely on it to track everything from ocean circulation to extreme weather. The NSF issued a statement saying that it “appreciates the concerns raised by the range of stakeholders” and would halt efforts to remove or...

Trump NSF Backs Down from Dismantling Critical Ocean Monitoring Systems – CNN

After bipartisan backlash Trump admin backs down from unilateral and sudden dismantling of ocean monitoring network to ‘consult’ and ‘study’ ‘path forward’ CNN Regular ::: CNN Text-Only Ad-Free. Some of the kinds of news coverage / content that can be expected to disappear if the Skydance-Paramount / Warner Bros. Discovery merger is able to go through, thus putting Bari Weiss, saboteur and vandal of The Late Show, 60 Minutes, and CBS writ large, in charge of CNN. It has already been approved by Trump’s captive/complicit regulators but faces challenges from international regulators and state anti-trust lawsuits. Anti-democracy and pro-thought-police shareholders of Warner Bros. Discovery approved the merger ‘overwhelmingly’ in April.

“The Trump administration is U-turning on its controversial decision to dismantle a critical ocean monitoring system that provides vital information on the health of the world’s oceans, after a bipartisan backlash in Congress.

The Ocean Observatories Initiative was established in 2016 and involves around 900 instruments across parts of the Pacific and Atlantic, especially designed to withstand the immense pressure and corrosive saltiness of the ocean depths.

In late May, the National Science Foundation, which funds the $386 million deep-ocean system, announced it would be pulling up buoys and other underwater equipment from arrays off the coasts of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, North Carolina and Greenland in what it called a “descoping” of the network.

But Thursday, NSF announced it will halt these plans and convene an expert panel to “identify a sustainable path” forward. One array off the coasts of Oregon and Washington has already been removed, but the NSF said in a statement that it is “developing plans to redeploy the equipment.” The organization confirmed it would “not proceed with further removal or descoping of equipment from the remaining arrays.” “
