Oceans face 'acidification crisis'
2015-07-03 02:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Scientists have warned that marine life will be irreversibly changed unless CO2 emissions are drastically cut. Writing in Science, experts say the oceans are heating, losing oxygen and becoming more acidic because of CO2. They warn that the 2C maximum temperature rise for climate change agreed by governments will not prevent dramatic impacts on ocean systems. And they say the range of options is dwindling as the cost of those options is skyrocketing. Twenty-two world-leading marine scientists...

Ocean acidification: Not just for oceans anymore!
2015-07-01 02:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Move over, ocean acidification - or don`t, actually. "Freshwater acidification" doesn`t have quite the same ring to it, though it is happening, thanks to the same carbon emissions currently souring the seas. And apparently fish are feeling the burn already, according to a study in Nature on juvenile pink salmon. From Scientific American: The study was among the first to look at how different CO2 levels could affect fish larvae in fresh water, according to the lead author, Michelle Ou, a former...

Honoring our Marine Environment on World Oceans Day
2015-06-08 16:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: June 8 is World Oceans Day. In Canada, its a time to celebrate the rich marine life in three great oceans off the longest coastline of any nation--trillions of plankton, billions of fish, millions of seabirds, thousands of whales and myriad other creatures great and small. Yet, we have little to celebrate when it comes to looking after this natural legacy. Although the federal government has committed to protect 10 percent of our oceans by 2020, it has so far protected just one percent. Canada...

Securing a better future for the oceans and for people
2015-06-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: Mamadou Sarr is a 54-year old Senegalese artisanal fisherman who has been working at sea for more than 36 years. He entered the profession out of his love for fishing and the ocean, and has been supporting a family of eight with his daily catches. Greenpeace met him at Ouakam, a fishing village on the outskirts of Dakar, where he shared his story with our local activists. "If nothing is done to reverse the negative impacts of foreign vessels in Senegalese waters," he said, "I will lose my job."...

Trouble looms as warmer oceans push marine life towards the poles
2015-06-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Rising sea temperatures attributed to global climate change could drive many marine creatures away from the equator, but their move towards the poles promises to put them in peril in habitats that are smaller and less hospitable, scientists say. Two studies published on Thursday in the journal Science illustrate dangers researchers forecast for sea animals as diverse as corals, fish and crustaceans. University of Washington oceanographer Curtis Deutsch said warmer ocean temperatures increase...
