7 important ocean trends, and what we can do about them

Mashable: More than 70% of the Earths surface is covered in water. About 97% of it exists in our oceans. But the oceans aren't just full of aquatic creatures and colorful coral that comprise the perfect snorkel scenery. Major problems lurk on top of, and especially beneath the surface -- problems that need our attention. That's why we need World Oceans Day.

Oil and Arctic Ocean Make A Highly Troublesome Mix
2015-06-08 15:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Last October, an unmanned barge with 950 gallons of fuel on board was in the Beaufort Sea when it broke free from the tug towing it. The weather was stormy and the tug captain decided it was too dangerous to try to retrieve the barge in turbulent seas. Ideally, the Canadian Coast Guard would have been on hand to deal with the situation. But the icebreaker it routinely dispatches to the Beaufort Sea Krichevsky/Wikimedia Commons The Russian oil rig Prirazlomnaya, operated by energy giant Gasprom,...
Warmer Ocean Waters Will Shift Marine Habitats
2015-06-05 23:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Warmer ocean waters are creating such a challenge for marine species worldwide, that new research shows they will consequently shift entire marine habitats. University of Washington (UW) researchers report in the journal Science that these higher temperatures will speed up the animals' metabolic need for oxygen, but the warmer water will hold less of the oxygen needed to fuel their bodies - similar to what happens at high altitudes. These changes will act together to push marine animals away...

As world warms, ocean habitats shrink
2015-06-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science: Large swaths of the ocean could become inhospitable to many kinds of marine life as the world warms. Thats the conclusion of a new study, which finds that rising water temperatures will make perhaps 20% of the ocean less habitable for many fish and crabs by reducing available oxygen. Another study warns that corals fleeing the tropics for cooler waters may find themselves without enough light to photosynthesize adequately in the winter. Most kinds of coral require water that is relatively warm,...
