"The ocean so acidic is dissolving the shells of our baby oysters"
2014-05-26 13:21:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Treehugger: The short video below tells the story of how climate change - more specifically ocean acidification - is affecting the life of fifth-generation small oyster farmers off the coast of Washington state. It was made by The Story Group, an independent journalism company that uses storytelling to covering "critical issues of our time". I think it's a great idea to break up the rather abstract concept of 'climate change' into more concrete pieces that show how it's affecting people and ecosystems more directly....

Oysters May be Able to Protect Us from Rising Seas

Nature World News: Scientists discovered that oyster reefs grow rapidly enough to match sea level rise, and may be able to keep future flooding at bay, according to research published in the journal Nature Climate Change. Oyster colonies provide habitat for wildlife, filter muck out of waterways, stabilize and raise shorelines, and can withstand the impact of storm surges, helping to spare lowlands from flooding. That all sounds great, if it weren't for the fact that 85 percent of the oyster reefs that once dominated...

Climbing CO2 Hurting Marine Life From Oysters to Coral
2013-08-25 23:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Climbing levels of carbon dioxide are harming all forms of marine life as the gas dissolves in the oceans, making them more acidic, German researchers say. Mollusks, corals and echinoderms, a class of creatures that includes starfish and sea urchins, are the worst affected by the uptake of CO2 by the seas, according to a study in the journal Nature Climate Change by researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven. The gas forms carbonic acid when it dissolves in the oceans, lowering...
