Our Oceans Are in Trouble: How to Move Beyond the Outrage and Start Taking Real Action

Our Oceans Are In Trouble: Here's How To Take Action Beyond The Outrage

Our oceans are in trouble. Catches from many of the world's fisheries are declining, with some fishing practices destroying enormous areas of the sea bed.

As ocean acidification ramps up, experts call for speedy ocean protection

Ocean health is moving into a danger zone, with rampant human-caused carbon dioxide emissions having already pushed ocean acidification levels beyond safe limits in large swaths of the marine environment, according to a recent study. The new findings underline the urgent need to ramp up protection of the world’s oceans, while simultaneously slashing CO2 emissions, say experts. But from a scientific perspective, worsening ocean acidification is n…

Africa: Our Oceans Are in Trouble - How to Move Beyond the Outrage and Start Taking Real Action

Analysis - Our oceans are in trouble. Catches from many of the world's fisheries are declining, with some fishing practices destroying enormous areas of the sea bed. Habitat loss through coastal development threatens many coastal ecosystems including estuaries and mangroves, which are vital nurseries for many fish species.

Our oceans are in trouble: how to move beyond the outrage and start taking real action

Our oceans are in trouble. Catches from many of the world’s fisheries are declining, with some fishing practices destroying enormous areas of the sea bed. Habitat loss through coastal development threatens many coastal ecosystems including estuaries and mangroves, which are vital nurseries for many fish species. Pollution is another threat, killing animals and damaging habitats. Climate change is also affecting the ocean. Excess carbon dioxide a…

‘Ticking timebomb’: sea acidity has reached critical levels, threatening entire ecosystems – study - Ocean Acidification

The world’s oceans are in worse health than realised, scientists have said today, as they warn that a key measurement shows we are “running out of time” to protect marine ecosystems. Ocean acidification, often called the “evil twin” of the climate crisis, is caused when carbon dioxide is rapidly absorbed by the ocean, where it […] The post ‘Ticking timebomb’: sea acidity has reached critical levels, threatening entire ecosystems – study appeared…
