The findings shed new light onto the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, which began six years ago Wednesday. Scientists from the federal government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and several private research companies found oil along 1,313 miles (2,113 kilometers) out of 5,930 miles (9,545...

Ocean currents push phytoplankton, and pollution, around the globe faster than thought
2016-04-19 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The billions of single-celled marine organisms known as phytoplankton can drift from one region of the world's oceans to almost any other place on the globe in less than a decade, Princeton University researchers have found. Unfortunately, the same principle can apply to plastic debris, radioactive particles and virtually any other human-made flotsam and jetsam that litter our seas, the researchers found. Pollution can thus become a problem far from where it originated within just a few years....

Warming Threatens the Great Barrier Reef Even More Than We Thought
2016-04-14 20:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: The iconic reef depends on protective pulses of warm water to boost its heat tolerance. Climate change may eliminate these "practice runs." This panoramic image reveals coral bleaching at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef in March 2016. The current bleaching is the worst the reef has experienced in its history. When waters get too hot, corals stress out and turn a ghostly white, and to survive, they must complete a marathon-like feat of endurance. Now, for the first time, new research...
