The Tiny Ocean Organisms That Could Help The Climate In a Big Way
Stocktrek Images / Getty Images Some of the littlest organisms in the ocean wield incredible influence, both on their ecosystems and on the planet. Like plants do on land, phytoplankton absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide and expel oxygen. They process so much of those two gases, in fact, that they’re responsible for half of the carbon sequestered by photosynthesis worldwide and half of the oxygen in the atmosphere…….Continue reading….

Could Taking Carbon Out of The Sea Cool Down The Planet?
Getty Images A ground-breaking project to suck carbon out of the sea has started operating on England’s south coast. The small pilot scheme, known as SeaCURE, is funded by the UK government as part of its search for technologies that fight climate change. There’s broad consensus among climate scientists that the overwhelming priority is to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the chief cause of global warming. But many scientists also believe that part of the solution will have to involve […] -
"Née en 1968, Toñi est considérée comme la plus ancienne matriarche connue de la population d’orques ibériques. Surnommée la Abuela (grand-mère), elle joue un rôle important pour la survie de cette communauté, en transmettant son savoir à un groupe menacé qui compte moins d’une quarantaine d’individus. La population d’orques ibériques est classée en danger critique d’extinction par l’Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature et comme vulnérable dans le catalogue espagnol des espèces menacées."

96% Of Oceans Worldwide Had Extreme Heatwaves In 2023
Zhenzhong Zeng In 2023, global marine heatwaves were the biggest, most intense and most persistent on record, a new study reveals. The researchers suggest that these heat waves were driven by climate change and may signal a climate tipping point. Global marine heatwaves (MHWs) are prolonged periods of unexpectedly warm ocean temperatures. These warm periods can critically threaten marine ecosystems………Continue reading…..

#Sharks have declined over 70% in 50 years, mainly due to fishing. The #SHARKEDAct could weaken protections for already collapsing populations. Tell the Senate to oppose it before it’s too late. #OceanConservation #Respect4Fish #Vegan

Weighing An Octopus Starts With a Laundry Basket
Image: Robin Riggs Just like nurses ask patients to step on the scale at their annual checkup, weight is an important metric in animal healthcare. Measuring some animals’ weight, however, isn’t as straightforward as it is for human patients. The team at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, has devised a great approach for their Giant pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) named Glinda.......Continue reading...

Oh, this is wonderful! Regulatory action is basically impossible against illegal fishing, since the boats are usually from another country anyway: and the knock-on ecological benefits of these little artificial seamounts are incredible!
