Honoring our Marine Environment on World Oceans Day
2015-06-08 16:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: June 8 is World Oceans Day. In Canada, its a time to celebrate the rich marine life in three great oceans off the longest coastline of any nation--trillions of plankton, billions of fish, millions of seabirds, thousands of whales and myriad other creatures great and small. Yet, we have little to celebrate when it comes to looking after this natural legacy. Although the federal government has committed to protect 10 percent of our oceans by 2020, it has so far protected just one percent. Canada...

Warmer Ocean Waters Will Shift Marine Habitats
2015-06-05 23:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Warmer ocean waters are creating such a challenge for marine species worldwide, that new research shows they will consequently shift entire marine habitats. University of Washington (UW) researchers report in the journal Science that these higher temperatures will speed up the animals' metabolic need for oxygen, but the warmer water will hold less of the oxygen needed to fuel their bodies - similar to what happens at high altitudes. These changes will act together to push marine animals away...

Trouble looms as warmer oceans push marine life towards the poles
2015-06-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Rising sea temperatures attributed to global climate change could drive many marine creatures away from the equator, but their move towards the poles promises to put them in peril in habitats that are smaller and less hospitable, scientists say. Two studies published on Thursday in the journal Science illustrate dangers researchers forecast for sea animals as diverse as corals, fish and crustaceans. University of Washington oceanographer Curtis Deutsch said warmer ocean temperatures increase...
