Aloha friends, Ocean Network has gone through a difficult few months with the loss of our friend, CEO and sustaining investor Ken Sanders. As we have looked at our options, it has become clear that we can no longer afford to continue streaming our content on our Roku channel and online. For the time being, our videos will not be available while we work to reorganize and secure additional funding. We appreciate your support of Ocean Network and hope to rebuild and return better than ever.

We imagine an ocean teeming with life from shore to shore. But that's not always the case as fertilizer runoff creates dead zones. http://www.livescience.com/47274-dead-zones-in-united-states.html

Dead zones are more widespread across the globe than most people realize.

A young ocean ecologist has already contributed to our understanding of invasive lionfish, as part of a sixth-grade science fair competition.

Florida-native Lauren Arrington discovered that invasive lionfish, which usually live in the ocean, could survive in nearly fresh water. The 12-year-old's experiment blew away professional scientists.

This is one amazing photo shoot. A good free-diver/model must be hard to find, but the results are amazing. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/05/models-posing-shipwreck-benjamin-von-wong_n_5439861.html

You're on the bottom of the ocean floor, tied to a shipwrecked vessel, weighed down by a massive gown, with no way to swim to surface to get air. Sound like your worst nightmare? Well it's actually just the the requirements for Benjamin Von Wong'...

Learn how to spot rip currents and what to do if one drags you away from shore.

Rip currents are fast, powerful channels of water flowing away from the beach and out past the breaking waves. And before you realize it, you can get dragged out far from the shore.

Sea World has come under a lot more scrutiny lately and for good reason -- their treatment of orcas endangers both the marine mammals and their trainers. https://www.thedodo.com/recently-spotted-103-year-old--547381307.html?xrs=RebelMouse_fb

SeaWorld could be in trouble because of “Granny,” the world’s oldest known living orca. The 103-year-old whale (also known as J2) was recently spotted off Canada’s western coast with her pod -- her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. But while the Granny sighting is thrilling for us, it…

One of the ugly but often unnoticed side effects of carbon pollution is that our oceans are turning more acidic. As our atmospheric CO2 has recently exceeded 400 parts per million from observations at Mauna Kea on Hawaii's Big Island, we're also beginning to see the effects on sea life. http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2014/20140430_oceanacidification.html

NOAA-led researchers discover ocean acidity is dissolving shells of tiny snails off the U.S. West Coast

The worldwide consumption of fish has led to declining stocks as super-trawlers search for new species to exploit. From 'Chilean Sea Bass' to 'Hake Loins', the marketing of fish doesn't tell the whole story of what is happening beneath the waves. http://priceonomics.com/the-invention-of-the-chilean-sea-bass/

What do you get when you mix overfishing and foodie culture? An exercise in branding.
