Acidic ocean water is dissolving sea snail shells
2014-05-04 15:37:21| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science Times: Increasing acidity of the ocean is dissolving the shells of tiny marine snails called pteropods, according to a new study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The pteropod is a free-swimming snail found in oceans around the world that grows to a size of about one-eighth to one-half inch. The evidence of corrosive waters impacting the snails, which provide food for pink salmon, mackerel, and herring, was discovered by a research team at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory...
Snails are dissolving in Pacific Ocean

Science: An increasingly acidified Pacific Ocean is dissolving the shells of tiny marine snails that live along North Americas western coast. The broad finding, which has surprised some researchers, suggests that sea life is already being affected by changes in the oceans chemistry caused by rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. It really changes the game by demonstrating that acidification is having a noticeable impact, says biological oceanographer Jan Newton, co-director of the Washington...

Ocean Acidification Chipping Away at Snail Shells
2014-05-02 15:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Ocean acidification isn't proceeding at a snail's pace, says new research. The study finds that corrosive water off the U.S. West Coast is dissolving the shells of a marine snail, also known as a sea butterfly, that is a key player in the coastal food chain. Researchers worry that the mollusks' weakened shells could have far-reaching consequences for the animals that eat them, such as fish and marine mammals. Salmon, herring, and other commercially important species rely on a snail-rich...
