Science just revealed the devastating impact we're going to have on our oceans
[Global] According to two new papers from universities in Australia and the United States, our oceans, and the animals living in them, might be in real trouble if we don’t cut back on our carbon dioxide emissions. Continue reading Science just revealed the devastating impact we're going to have on our oceans
Envision 2050: The Future of Oceans
Oceans cover more than two thirds of Earth’s surface. They are home to millions of species, provide a key source of protein to people on every continent, and play an enormous role in Continue reading Envision 2050: The Future of Oceans
Ocean Greens: The Least Deadliest Catch
In a food world that flips from fad superfood to superfood, an increasingly skeptical public has to ask which miracle crop has the staying power. In order to be called “the next Kale,” a food has to demonstrate not only exceptional Continue reading Ocean Greens: The Least Deadliest Catch

Ocean acidification slows algae growth in the Southern Ocean
Bremerhaven, 24 February 2015. In a recent study, scientists at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), demonstrate for the first time that ocean acidification could have negative impacts on diatoms in the Southern Ocean. In laboratory tests they were able to observe that under changing light conditions, diatoms grow more slowly in Continue reading Ocean acidification slows algae growth in the Southern Ocean

Ancient marine algae provides clues of climate change impact on today’s microscopic ocean organisms
A study of ancient marine algae, led by the University of Southampton, has found that climate change affected their growth and skeleton structure, which has potential significance for today’s equivalent microscopic organisms that play an important role in the world’s oceans. Continue reading Ancient marine algae provides clues of climate change impact on today’s microscopic ocean organisms
