Ocean acidification slows algae growth in the Southern Ocean
2015-02-24 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] 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 acidic water. In so doing, Dr Clara Hoppe and her team have overturned the widely held assumption that sinking …

Heres Where Ocean Acidification Will Hit the U.S. Hardest

Climate Central: U.S. coastal communities better start preparing for ocean acidification now, especially if we want scallops, oysters and other shellfish to keep appearing on our dinnerplates. That's the message of a new study that shows that shellfisheries across the U.S. are more vulnerable to climate change's less considered counterpart than previously thought. That vulnerability is due to more than changing ocean chemistry. Social and economic factors, local and more distant pollution and natural ocean processes...
As ocean acid grows, coasts and fisheries vulnerable, study says

McClatchey: The gradual increase of acid in the oceans threatens coastal communities in 15 states, although the reason for the impact and what to do about it varies widely, according to a new study. Writing in the journal Nature Climate Change, a group of researchers declared ocean acidification a complex and seemingly overwhelming problem. Thats partly because of its varied nature, and partly because of big gaps in what is known about it. States are at risk, according to the study, because of straight...
Study outlines threat of ocean acidification to coastal communities in US
2015-02-23 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] CORVALLIS, Ore. - Coastal communities in 15 states that depend on the $1 billion shelled mollusk industry (primarily oysters and clams) are at long-term economic risk from the increasing threat of ocean acidification, a new report concludes. This first nationwide vulnerability analysis, which was funded through the National Science Foundation's National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center, was published today in the journal Nature Climate Change. The …
