Last year's hurricanes did more than swamp low-lying areas and flood homes. It also killed a lot of mangroves, acting as natural buffers along Sarasota Bay.

Abandoned vessels can linger in waterways for years, polluting ecosystems and complicating navigation. A new initiative is trying to shift the tides.

Life-threatening rip currents and high surf are anticipated this week.

A stronger and bigger Hurricane Erin pelted parts of the Caribbean and was forecast to create dangerous surf and rip currents along the U.S. East Coast this week.

New research could help unravel mysteries of rapid intensification.

Erin becomes the first hurricane of the 2025 season. It is expected to remain north of the Leeward Islands and bring high swells and rough seas for the eastern Seaboard.

Tropical Storm Erin continues to gain strength and enters warmer ocean waters. The track looks to favor the Caribbean and the U.S.; there will still be indirect impacts.

The fifth named storm of the season has formed. Erin is forecast to become the first hurricane of the season by the end of the week, likely staying north of the Caribbean.
