‘The Swim’ Ends in Hawaii After Spotlighting Ocean Plastic Crisis

After repairing their boat, Ben Lecomte and the crew will return to the Pacific to collect data from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

A nonprofit called Adventure Scientists has put outdoor enthusiasts to work in a global effort to trace plastic pollution.

A study on the impact of hog farms on local communities was published shortly after Florence flooded lagoons filled with excrement.

The IPCC's alarming climate change report says that limiting global warming will require unproven carbon dioxide removal technologies.

Now 1,000 nautical miles from Japan, Lecomte's swimming campaign across the Pacific for ocean health and conservation is kicking into high gear.

As wildfires rage, a US Forest Service study finds fewer incidences of rainfall and less total rainfall in the West.
