Reuters: The Pacific Ocean phenomenon called El Nino, which can lead to storms in the U.S. Southwest and other places, will likely start soon, but may not bring hoped-for relief to drought-parched California, U.S. government meteorologists said on Thursday. Scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in a report the likelihood was increasing that El Nino, characterized by a warming of the ocean temperature in the eastern Pacific near the equator, would be weak this year.

'Saving Nemo': Feds mull ocean rules to save clownfish of Disney fame

Washington Times: Federal authorities are considering new regulations to rid the ocean of more pollutants as a means of saving the orange clownfish made famous in the Disney movie "Finding Nemo." The National Marine Fisheries Service said it`s mulling protections due in part to a threat of lawsuit from the Center for Biological Diversity, which petitioned the agency to list the fish as endangered or threatened in 2012, The Hill reported.

New Scientist: WHALE what's going on here then? Climate change's dramatic effects on the Southern Ocean just got easier to track, thanks to a comprehensive biodiversity map of the region. Some estimates suggest that the Southern Ocean is home to half of all the human-linked carbon dioxide that the world's oceans absorb, and the consequent drop in ocean-water pH there has already begun to dissolve animal shells in the region. The new Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean will make it easier to monitor problems...

Over 500 Methane Vents Found on Atlantic Ocean Floor Off US East Coast
2014-08-25 12:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: The Atlantic Ocean floor off the U.S. East Coast has over 500 methane vents, a new study has found. The study, conducted by researchers at the Mississippi State University, shows that large amount of methane leaking from the seafloor might be contributing to global warming. "It is the first time we have seen this level of seepage outside the Arctic that is not associated with features like oil or gas reservoirs or active tectonic margins," said Prof Adam Skarke from Mississippi State University,...
