  2. Brewing oceans, brewing storms, making a blooming disaster

    "Over the past year, Australia’s oceans have been hotter than ever before...The continued burning of fossil fuels has caused our atmosphere to warm by approximately 1.2 degrees C since the pre-industrial era....If you change what happens in the oceans, you start to change the whole system...The problem with climate change is we’re hitting that system incredibly hard with extra energy and we’re putting a lot of pressure on the oceans."

  3. Global oxygen decline in the ocean
    Ocean hypoxia: The science of climate change in the sea

    "... The field will need to draw on ... advances to meet demands for adaptation solutions to the continued progression of global ocean deoxygenation, particularly in conjunction with ocean acidification and marine heatwaves in a multi-stressor scenario."

  12. Sitting & waiting to sign some documents & then can get out of this place, full of unmasked plague spreaders - at least for a few hours until I can bring my client her new air filtration unit.

    As I'm waiting, am reading up more on how to make reef balls out of broken seashells. Getting ahead on some research that will help me to help better with several projects along our coasts to restore Indigenous shellfish gardens & utilize the nature engineering powers of bivalves to restore some ocean ecosystems that were destroyed by acts of greed fueled colonialism.

  13. Whenever I see pieces by Nnimmo Bassey go by, I know there's going to be something of importance within.

    Take note of the fact that the referenced page has two tabs, a "Full Article" and a "Quick Read". If you're in a hurry, go for the latter. But the Full Article is full of useful detail.

    There's lots of good information in the full article that is not commonly discussed, so I recommend that. But I'll just grab a few excerpts here that illustrate the breadth of discussion:

    «The corporate extractive sector, in particular, has been looking for new territories to extract minerals such as manganese, cobalt, copper, nickel, and rare earth elements. This has become increasingly problematic due to the risks involved in resource extraction. Though the ocean may seem like an unlimited expanse that profiteers exploit purely for financial gain, it has natural limits.

    “[A]lthough scientists and campaigners have been warning of the consequences of our rampant exploitation for decades, time is now running out to protect our oceans,” Hugo Tagholm, executive director of Oceana in the UK, and Callum Roberts, a professor of marine conservation at the Center for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter, wrote in EuroNews in November 2023. “We like to think of our ocean as infinite, but the truth is, it cannot stand this industrial-scale exploitation.”»

    and later

    «When governments and corporations decide what should be done, they often ignore the people closest to the water and the fact that they know more about what is necessary to protect it. It gets more troubling when the uninhabited deep sea is discussed. For example, in Nigeria, Shell Oil is selling off its onshore oil fields and moving operations to the deep sea, where there is limited oversight on the damage being done. Even if the harm being done in the deep sea stays out of sight, its results still affect everyone onshore. This is a major reason for the concern anywhere in the world that is near the water.»

  14. Seabed minerals are crucial in producing oxygen, raising concerns over deep-sea mining. As negotiations on deep-sea mining intensify, this discovery highlights the potential risks to marine ecosystems and the global oxygen cycle. The findings may influence future regulations and conservation efforts, casting a shadow over the industry’s future.

    "While protections for marine life have increased in recent years, there is a huge chunk of US #MarineEcosystems that remain unprotected or misunderstood. The strategy hopes to close those gaps by working alongside local and Indigenous stakeholders."

  17. "With roughly 70% of the Earth’s surfaces as #oceans, protecting #biodiversity needed to extend beyond these national jurisdictions. Hence, in June of this year, 2023, nearly 200 countries adopted the #BiodiversityBeyondNationalJurisdiction treaty, also called the #BBNJ. We will explore what this treaty seeks to accomplish and what mechanisms are in place to protect #OceanSpecies."
