With the rapid growth of communities, waterways have become an essential means of transport. Dredging is the process of keeping these river roads clear.
A glacier is a huge mass of ice that forms over time from the accumulation of snow in an area where the temperature is below the freezing point of water.
Seaweed absorbs large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It is also a major source of food and fuel, thus making it a potential solution to combating climate change.
Bioluminescence is the production of light by living beings. Many organisms such as algae and fish emit bioluminescent light.
Every diver talks about the endless blue that surrounds them below the ocean surface. But why is the ocean blue if the water itself appears to be clear?

Hard coral, often mistaken as rocks, and soft coral, often mistaken to be plants, are, in fact, fascinating ocean animals.
The ocean is the largest carbon sink, but it would be dangerous if we allowed it to continue taking the brunt of increasing greenhouse gas emissions in the 21st century.
