Science: The Atlantic cod, a fish that came to symbolize bounty to Americas colonial settlers, is on the brink of disappearing, despite years of fishing limits aimed at rebuilding stocks.

Over this same 10-year period, fishery managers set quotas that they felt were informed by...

Agence France-Presse: By the end of this century, a warming climate may wipe out available habitat for some of Hawaii's rarest birds, researchers warned on Wednesday. The future is particularly dire for certain species living in high elevations, said the study, published in the open-access journal PLOS ONE. The yellow honeycreeper known as 'Akeke'e, the gray Akikiki bird and a rare songbird known as Puaiohi could lose all of their current range, said the study. Three others, including the Maui parrotbill, the...
