Yale Environment 360: How Growing Sea Plants Can Help Slow Ocean Acidification Researchers are finding that kelp, eelgrass, and other vegetation can effectively absorb CO2 and reduce acidity in the ocean. Growing these plants in local waters, scientists say, could help mitigate the damaging impacts of acidification on marine life. Robert Schwemmer/NOAA Harvesting kelp, shown here off the California coast, removes CO2 from the ecosystem. Oregons picturesque Netarts Bay has long been known for its oysters....

National Geographic: As the future of seafloor mining is debated this week, here are five things you need to know about the risks and rewards of extracting precious metals and minerals from the ocean. Remotely operated vehicles are used to explore deep-sea sites for possible future mining. But what are the long-term impacts? The bottom of the world's ocean contains vast supplies of precious metals and other resources, including gold, diamonds, and cobalt. Now, as the first deep-sea mining project ramps up, nations...
Conservationists keep pressing for Atlantic Ocean monuments

News Times: Environmental conservationists aren't giving up on trying to persuade the White House to designate an area in the Gulf of Maine as a national monument.

Can Kelp Save The Pacific Ocean?

ThinkProgress: When it comes to ocean acidification, the Pacific Northwest is set to be ground zero for some of the most dire impacts - so it makes sense that scientists in Washington state would be on the forefront of research aimed at finding solutions. One particularly interesting solution for combating ocean acidification is to use naturally-occurring organisms as stores for excess ocean carbon, the same way that trees suck up carbon dioxide on land. To that end, researchers in Washington have their sights...
