Coral Reefs Bounce Back Despite Warming Of Oceans
2016-03-26 15:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inquisitr: Coral reefs have managed to bounce back, despite being under constant threat of extinction. However, marine scientists caution these fragile ecosystems are still being threatened by global warming, pollution and human activity. The discovery of a large number of coral reefs in excellent health has been quite a joyous occasion for the researchers who routinely deal with ominous news like mass die-offs, worldwide bleaching events, oil spills, and such other calamities which have been pushing the...

Coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef worse than for decades video
2016-03-21 06:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Prof Justin Marshall, a marine biologist and neuroscientist, has witnessed the coral around Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef change from a healthy brown to white over 30 years as a result of bleaching. He says he has never seen it in a worse state. Coral bleaching is caused by the ocean warming over a long period, which in this case is believed to have been caused by the El Nio effect, on top of climate change over many years

Coral bleaching at Barrier Reef 'severe': Australia
2016-03-20 10:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: Australian authorities said Sunday coral bleaching occurring in the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef had become "severe", the highest alert level, as sea temperatures warm. Australian Environment Minister Greg Hunt said while the bleaching at this stage was not as severe as in 1998 and 2002, also El Nino-related events, "it is however, in the northern parts a cause for concern". "The reef is 2,300 kilometres (1,429 miles) long and the bottom three-quarters is in strong condition, but...

'Coral on a chip' cracks coral mysteries
2016-03-17 04:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: We know that human-induced environmental changes are responsible for coral bleaching, disease, and infertility. Loss of the world's stony coral reefs -- up to 30% in the next 30 years, according to some estimates -- will mean loss of their services, including sequestering some 70-90 million tons of carbon each year and supporting enormous marine biodiversity. Yet despite many advances, we are still far from understanding the causes and processes contributing to the corals' demise. Weizmann Institute...

Severe coral bleaching worsens in pristine parts Great Barrier Reef
2016-03-14 06:37:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Damage to parts of the Great Barrier Reef has worsened, leading authorities to raise the alert to the second-highest level, indicating severe local coral bleaching. The bleaching is worst in the most pristine and remote parts of the reef north of Cairns, according to Terry Hughes, convenor of the National Coral Taskforce. Its the jewel in the crown of the Great Barrier Reef and its now getting a quite a serious impact from this bleaching event, he said. The northern reefs are bleaching quite...
