EcoWatch: We recently reported on how Hawaii could be facing the worst coral bleaching in its history this year as surrounding water temperatures rise at unprecedented rates. Now scientists are warning that it`s not just Hawaii but the entire world that is in the midst of the worst coral die off in history. A consortium of scientists today from the University of Queensland, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), XL Catlin Seaview Survey and elsewhere confirmed today that we are facing a third...

ScienceDaily: A greater understanding and appreciation of our oceans is essential for the wellbeing of the world's population, according to the Global Marine Technology Trends 2030 (GMTT 2030) report launched today (Monday 7 September). The report is the culmination of a collaborative project between Lloyd's Register, Qinetiq and the University of Southampton looking at the future for: commercial shipping -- without which world trade would cease; for navies -- so vital for security; and the health of the oceans...

The Worlds Oceans Are in Peril
2015-08-23 17:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: The worlds oceans--covering nearly two-thirds of the Earths surface, and on which much of human life depends--are under severe pressure, a new report says. Overfishing has dramatically reduced fish stocks. The thousands of tonnes of rubbish dumped in the oceans wreak havoc on marine life, while climate change is warming and acidifying them, putting them under further stress. These are the sobering conclusions of a wide-ranging study of the Earths ecosystems by the Worldwatch Institute, a...

Study: worlds oceans facing irreversible damage without climate action
2015-07-03 12:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: Unless ambitious action is taken to reduce carbon emissions the worlds oceans are facing dangerous and irreversible impact that could affect seafood supply, according to a new study. The report, which has been published in the journal Science, evaluated and compared two scenarios under two potential carbon dioxide emission pathways over this century. While both scenarios carry high risks to vulnerable species, a business-as-usual scenario was projected to be devastating and have a high impact...

As Oceans Heat Up, Race Save World's Coral Reefs
2015-01-16 00:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Early one December morning, Chris Langdon, a biological oceanographer at the University of Miami, zipped up his wet suit and dropped overboard just off Key Largo to inspect a section of Florida's ailing coral reef. His living "laboratory," 15 feet down, is the size of several football fields. Last summer a large bleaching event turned much of the coral white. Bleaching occurs when water temperatures rise or fall. Even a slight fluctuation can set it off. The result is dramatic and often fatal....
