Australia: Great Barrier Reef: who's profiting from the destruction and devastation?
2016-05-24 21:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Its the worst crisis ever to hit the Great Barrier Reef and the extent of the devastation is only just coming to light. The reef is in the middle of the worst bleaching event ever seen, with unusually warm water killing as much as half the corals in the northern sections, with the trend set to continue for the next 20 years. Whos to blame for this destruction? And which businesses are profiting from the activities that are causing this havoc? The coal industry is the single worst culprit....

Floridas Coral Reef Is Disintegrating
2016-05-02 23:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: Florida's coral reef, the only tropical reef in the continental United States, is disintegrating faster than scientists predicted and in a way that will accelerate as the oceans become more acidic, according to new research published Monday. University of Miami scientists called the collapse of the reef's limestone framework, a critical habitat for fish, "unprecedented" and "cause for alarm." "Lots of scientists think that ocean acidification is not going to be a problem until 2050 or 2060,"...

Massive New Reef System Found at Amazon River Mouth
2016-04-25 17:36:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sacred Heart Spectrum: Bleached coral in the Great Barrier Reef So the discovery came as a total surprise to study coauthor Patricia Yager, an oceanographer at the University of Georgia, who in 2012 set out with Brazilian scientists aboard the research vessel Atlantis to study the plume coming out from the river mouth and flowing into the ocean. However, Yager also wanted to explore the premise of a scientific article from the 1970s that mentioned a scientist capturing reef fish along the continental shelf, which...

Massive Coral Reef Discovered at Mouth of Amazon River, But Its Already Threatened by Oil Drilling
2016-04-25 15:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Scientists recently made a surprising discovery of a 600-mile long deepwater reef system below the Amazons muddy waters. More than 60 species of sponges, 73 species of fish, spiny lobsters, stars and other reef life have been found there. This is good news for marine life, especially in the wake of massive coral bleaching around the world. However, the newly discovered reef is already in grave danger from oil exploration and drilling at the mouth of Amazon--some of it possibly right on top of...
Newly Discovered Coral Reef System Found At the Amazon River Already in Grave Danger
2016-04-24 09:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Researchers are flabbergasted over the discovery of a coral reef system located at the muddy waters off the mouth of the Amazon River. Corals are known to thrive in clear, sunlit saltwater. The Amazon plume, the area where fresh water from the river mixes with the salty Atlantic Ocean, creates gaps in the reef distribution along the tropical shelves, making it difficult for the corals to grow. Thus, the discovery of a coral reef system at the mouth of the Amazon River is significantly surprising,...
