Researchers may be able to predict deadly jellyfish blooms
2014-05-14 16:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: The key to predicting the presence of tiny, venomous and nearly invisible jellyfish may be blowing in the wind, new research finds. The discovery, linking the appearance of teeny-tiny jellies off the coast of Australia with wind patterns, could lead to a way to prevent stings, researchers reported May 13 in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. Closing beaches 31 percent of the time, when winds are inauspicious, could reduce the number of stings by more than 61 percent, they wrote. The...

Coral Reef Restoration Cheap, Effective Way of Saving Coastlines; Researchers Say
2014-05-14 15:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Saving coral reefs could be an efficient and cheaper way of saving world's coastlines, a new study has found. Coral reefs are delicate ecosystems and provide shelter to 25 percent of all marine organisms. The latest study found that these reefs can act as the "tough guy" against waves and can dissipate around 97 percent of the wave energy. Researchers used data from 27 previous studies conducted in different regions around the world, from coasts that see normal waves to hurricane level waves....
