Australia: WWF: Worst coral bleaching on Lizard Island since 2002 a cause for concern

2016-03-01 07:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Telegraph: Reports that Lizard Island is experiencing the worst coral bleaching since 2002 is a major concern for the Great Barrier Reef, WWF-Australia said on Tuesday. The organisation today released photographs of the damage showing a wide variety of corals being impacted. WWF Great Barrier Reef campaigner Louise Matthiesson said Lizard Island, in far north Queensland, is being hit amid forecasts of more risk of coral bleaching on the Reef in March. "If conditions continue to worsen, the Great Barrier...

Ocean acidification already taking toll on coral reef growth

2016-02-26 08:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Comment: Of particular concern are losses of older corals, which release more eggs and sperm during reproduction than young ones, and bleaching in nurseries of corals established to replace those that die off. The findings were published in the science journal Nature. Can we administer a similar procedure to save the reefs globally? Qld Senator Larissa Waters is the Australian Greens Deputy Leader and climate change spokesperson. But even if the experiments underlying the study did exactly that,...

Carbon emission cuts only way to save coral from acid seas: study

2016-02-24 19:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Reuters: Corals under threat from acid seas can only be saved by deep cuts in carbon dioxide emissions, scientists said on Wednesday, and engineering the chemistry of sea water around coral reefs was only possible on a very small scale. In a U.S.-led study, scientists mixed chemicals into a lagoon, cut off from the sea at low tide, at Australia's One Tree Island to locally reverse the global trend of acidification that makes it harder for corals to build their stony skeletons. They showed that the coral,...

El Nio prolongs longest global coral bleaching event

2016-02-23 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: Global warming and the intense El Nio now underway are prolonging the longest global coral die-off on record, according to NOAA scientists monitoring and forecasting the loss of corals from disease and heat stress due to record ocean temperatures. The global coral bleaching event that started in 2014 could extend well into 2017, researchers report at the Oceans Sciences Meeting here this week. Coral bleaching happens when corals are stressed by conditions such as high temperatures. The bleaching,...
