November 2024 data is now available for both Antarctic sea-ice thickness/volume (zacklabe.com/antarctic-se...) and global sea-ice volume (zacklabe.com/global-sea-i...) from GIOMAS.
Last month's global sea-ice volume is statistically tied for a record low for the month of November.

Earlier this year two reports of the Atlantic Blue Crab, were made on the Sussex coast. This species is non-native to the UK, originating in the western Atlantic Ocean.
Anglers & divers are being asked to report any sightings of this distinctive crab.
