Human Impacts On Top Ocean Predators Along US West Coast Mapped
2013-10-28 08:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The California Current System along the U.S. west coast is among the richest ecosystems in the world, driven by nutrient input from coastal upwelling and supporting a great diversity of marine life. Like coastal regions in general, it is also heavily impacted by human activities. A new study led by scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, reveals areas along the west coast where human impacts are highest on marine predators such as whales, seals, seabirds, and turtles. The study,...
