The ocean has absorbed ~one third of the excess atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) released since the Industrial Revolution. When the ocean absorbs excess CO2, a series of chemical reactions occur that result in a reduction in seawater...
This book explores emerging concepts, challenges, and key policy and law tools to help inform governments as they modernize public sector planning to better address 21st century change and advance their sustainable development goals....
The Alfred Goldstein Institute for Climate Change Studies is part of Mote's Elizabeth Moore International Center for Coral Reef Research & Restoration (IC2R3) on Summerland Key, Florida. The Institute was established thanks to...
Climate change and climate variability are affecting marine mammal species and these impacts are projected to continue in the coming decades. Vulnerability assessments provide a framework for evaluating climate impacts over a broad...
Threatened coral reefs will have more powerful allies in the Florida Keys following the official opening of Mote Marine Laboratory’s International Center for Coral Reef Research & Restoration (IC2R3) on May 25 at Summerland Key,...

Researchers from six nations gather for the 1st International Workshop on Impacts of Ocean Acidification and Climate Change on Corals and Coral Reefs, which was led by Mote Marine Laboratory and the Interuniversity Institute for Marine...
Climate change is shifting animal distributions. However, the extent to which future global habitats of threatened marine megafauna will overlap existing human threats remains unresolved. Here we use global climate models and habitat...
High school and undergraduate educators can access a new, free lesson to help their students investigate the impacts of varying climate and other ocean conditions on coral reefs. The guided, inquiry-based lesson “How Do Upwelling...
Ocean acidification (OA) is hard to describe. Many do not realize it's even there, but why would they? It doesn’t have a taste or smell. Despite its mysterious nature, OA is impacting the ocean at an exponential rate. Scientists...
1. Global trends in marine turtle nesting numbers vary by region, influenced by environmental or anthropogenic factors. Our study investigates the potential role of past temperature fluctuations on these trends, particularly whether...
As climate change drives health declines of tropical reef species, diseases are further eroding ecosystem function and habitat resilience. Coral disease impacts many areas around the world, removing some foundation species to recorded...
As Atlantic temperatures drop into the 50s, hundreds of green sea turtles are being rescued from the frigid waters off Florida’s East Coast. This week alone, Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium’s Sea Turtle Rehabilitation...
Coral Health and Disease (Sarasota) URE Internship Mentors: Dr. Sara Williams and Grace McDermott
Mote Marine Laboratory is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a substantial grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation to support an innovative...
Coastal habitats are experiencing decreases in seawater pH and increases in temperature due to anthropogenic climate change. The Caribbean king crab, Maguimithrax spinosissimus, plays a vital role on Western Atlantic reefs by grazing...
Understanding the factors shaping patterns of ecological resilience is critical for mitigating the loss of global biodiversity. Throughout aquatic environments, highly mobile predators are thought to serve as important vectors of energy...
That coral reefs are in decline worldwide, particularly in the Caribbean,will come as no surprise. This decades-long decline has reached a potential tipping point as the weight of the effects of climate change have come decidedly to...
