Scientists genetically modified marine organisms to breakdown plastics inside salt water, according to a new study.

The researchers from the NC State University worked on two different bacteria, which were modified to function as plastic-destroyers in salt water.

Deep Mining Shockingly Dangerous For Marine Life, Study Shows

New research has revealed the adverse effects deep mining has on marine life. Deep mining has been criticized for putting millions of marine species at risk of extinction, but no regulatory measures have been undertaken so far. The new research uncovered a rapid decline in fish population in mining zones within a few months.

Scientists Are Using Oceans To Reverse Climate Change

Scientists have been working to reverse and mitigate the impact of climate change on the environment by using a wide range of techniques. Greenhouse gasses have skyrocketed in the last few decades and now scientists have started to use oceans to capture the huge amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
