Death of coral reefs blamed on overfishing, pollution and warmer ocean

Houston Chronicle: An undated handout photo received on May 30, 2016, shows dying coral colonised by seaweed at Lizard Island during the current bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef. At least 35 percent of corals in the northern and central regions of Australia's Great Barrier Reef are dead or dying from a mass bleaching event, scientists said on May 30, 2016. The assessment was made after months of aerial and underwater surveys after the worst bleaching in recorded history first became evident in March as sea...

Overfishing and pollution kill corals in a warming world
2016-06-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: In the wild worlds of coral reefs, seaweeds and corals are locked in mortal battles and scientists have revealed how overfishing, sewage and farm pollution can tip the balance in favor of the weeds. Newly published findings from three years of field experiments in the ailing reefs of the Florida Keys have profound implications at a time when climate change is killing corals and threatening the very future of reefs worldwide. Parrot fish normally protect corals, but pollution can turn them into...

Mexico cracks down on capital's car pollution

Agence France-Presse: Mexico's government announced Tuesday measures to reduce smog in the capital by preventing corruption at emission inspection centers that have allowed polluting cars to stay on the road. The environment ministry unveiled the new rules three months after authorities issued the first air quality alert in 13 years in the greater Mexico City area. Normally, cars that pass emissions tests are allowed to drive every day while those that fail have to stay off the streets at least once a week. But corruption...

Coral reefs fall victim to overfishing, pollution aggravated by ocean warming
2016-06-07 21:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Coral reefs are declining around the world because a combination of factors -- overfishing, nutrient pollution, and pathogenic disease -- ultimately become deadly in the face of higher ocean temperatures, researchers have concluded. A study published today in Nature Communications, based on one of the largest and longest field experiments done on this topic, suggests that the widespread coral deaths observed in recent decades are being caused by this combination of multiple local stressors and...
