Global Scientists Shocked by True Scale of Ocean Warming
2013-08-05 21:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Warming oceans are causing marine species to change their breeding times and shift their habitats toward the poles much faster than land-based species, finds new research by scientists at 17 institutions across the world. The researchers warn that these big shifts in the timing of major events could produce disruption to ocean food webs, affecting all sea life, as well as humans who depend on the sea for food. Findings of the three-year research project, conducted by a working group of University...

Massive expansion of ocean survey to study impact of climate change on coral reefs
2013-08-01 09:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Treehugger: Last year's seminal coral reef survey of the Great Barrier Reef by the Catlin Seaview Survey was just the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to documenting and understanding the effects of climate change and ocean acidification on the world's coral reefs, but it was a big step in learning about the changes that are happening under the ocean. And now the Catlin survey is launching a massive new campaign that will put its focus on the Caribbean and Bermuda, taking hundreds of thousands...

Hawaii's ocean debris could fill 18-wheeler
2013-07-30 20:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: In an area of Hawaii, far removed from most human habitation, a recent cleanup effort yielded an 18-wheeler's worth of human debris during a 19-day anti-pollution campaign this year. The region, which includes Midway Atoll, some 1,200 miles (1,900 kilometers) from the Hawaiian mainland, acts as a "fine-tooth comb" in picking up debris from elsewhere, officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) told LiveScience. Broken fishing gear, tattered nets and plastic fragments...

Tropical Storm Nears Hawaii, New Ocean Plan Predicts Worse
2013-07-30 02:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: Tropical Storm Flossie is bringing heavy rains, strong winds and big waves to the main Hawaiian Islands today through Tuesday. But the worst is yet to come. The state`s newly updated Ocean Resources Management Plan projects much larger storm surges and higher wind velocities for Hawaii as the planet warms. At 11 am local time, the storm was packing maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. It was 200 miles east-southeast of Honolulu, moving west-northwest at 18 mph. Tropical Storm force winds extend outward...
