Climate News Network: If you like the occasional plate of grilled scallops or fancy an oyster now and then, read on and ponder. The health of several species of European shellfish is under threat. Shellfish face an uncertain future as the oceans become warmer and more acidic because of the changing climate. The bad news is that the shellfish face an uncertain future as the oceans become warmer and more acidic because of the changing climate. But there is some better news too: the European Union is funding an international...

Focus Oceans Health as Dolphin Deaths Soar

New York Times: Like a macabre marine mystery, the carcasses many badly deteriorated and tossing about in the surf first turned up along the coast of New Jersey in June. Soon, droves of them washed up in Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and most recently Florida, their winter home. So far this year, nearly 1,000 bottlenose dolphins eight times the historical average have washed up dead along the Eastern Seaboard from New York to Florida, a vast majority of them victims of morbillivirus. Many more are...

Similar Corals Affected Differently by Warming Oceans
2013-12-13 04:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Softpedia: As global warming continues to progress, the world's oceans are becoming increasingly acidic, due to their inability to capture and store carbon dioxide at the rate we are releasing it into the atmosphere. This acidification is affecting similar corals in different ways, a new study demonstrated. The fact that climate change is endangering coral reefs around the world has been known for years, but thus far very few studies have been conducted on how resilience to warming waters and acidification...

Climate change is scaring the fish due to acidified oceans, study says

Canadian Press: Ocean acidification - one of the consequences of an increasing level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - makes rockfish anxious, according to a newly published paper by a neuroscientist at Edmonton's MacEwan University. "It's actually very similar to a human being anxious at a very basic fundamental level," said Trevor Hamilton. "[The fish are] afraid of any sort of stimuli that could be harmful." Prof. Hamilton and his colleague, biologist Adam Holcombe, were building on previous research...
Acidifying Oceans Alarm Hundreds of Scientists

Environment News Service: Climate change is causing the world`s oceans to acidify at rates not seen for the last 55 million years, and the only way to moderate this danger is to reduce human emissions of carbon dioxide, conclude 540 scientists from 37 countries in a new report. Their conclusion is the outcome of the Third Symposium on the Ocean in a High CO2 World that took place in Monterey, California in September 2012. The findings of these experts were presented in a report to the Conference on Climate Change that...
