New York Times on oceans
2008-06-01 05:09:00 On May 31, 2008, the New York Times Editorial Writers published an editorial on President George W Bush's Ocean Legacy:President Bush has expressed interest in leaving a positive “blue legacy.” Last year, he created one of the biggest protected marine reserves in the world — 138,000 square miles of largely unspoiled reefs and shoals near Hawaii. He should create at least one and possibly more such reserves elsewhere in American waters before he leaves office — and should persuade other world leaders to do the same. [emphasis added]Additionally, an article in the Times on June 1st reports on one of the Monument proposals being considered by the President:The Bush administration is taking steps to create a new kind of national monument encompassing Pearl Harbor and other World War II sites in the Pacific.If the president declares a Pacific war monument, it will require rethinking the concept of how monuments are organized.

Updates, Oceans and Trees
2008-05-20 19:17:00 We've spent the last several days moving. Wouldn't you know, the weather has been not so much southern California as it has been freakishly hot Las Vegas, with a kick of tropical humidity. I think today the temps are going back to the normal upper 60's mid 70's range. All in all, it was not a fun move. AND, it was only a small fraction of our stuff. The rest is coming out from Omaha in the next few weeks, but the professionals are taking care of that portion, thank goodness.The conclusion is that I don't live in my beloved Encinitas anymore. If you know how much I love that charming, little coastal town, you know how much I hated to move away. I knew it was going to be temporary, since the home prices are so darn expensive. One day I'll be back, and if not there, we'll move to Carlsbad which is the next coastal city north of Encinitas. Carlsbad is actually an amazing city. It has great beaches and it's just a beautiful place to live. A lot more manicured then Enci...

Acidic oceans may be water of life for plankton
2008-05-07 10:01:00 Most life in the ocean will suffer as carbon dioxide levels increase and the water becomes more acidic. Some plankton will buck the trend, however, thriving and putting on weight as carbon dioxide levels rise - but it remains to be seen how this will affect the global carbon balance.DĂ©bora Iglesias-RodrĂguez, from the National Oceanography Centre at the University of Southampton, UK, and her colleagues, simulated the increase in dissolved carbon dioxide in surface ocean waters by bubbling carbon dioxide through cultures of coccolithophores, a type of single-celled photosynthesising plankton.In previous experiments water acidity had been regulated by simply adding acid or base, but this method has been criticised for being too artificial. Iglesias-RodrĂguez's method found that higher carbon dioxide concentrations increased calcification, speeding up growth of the tiny calcite plates on the plankton cell.Carbon storageCoccolithophores appear to benefit in two ways. The extra carbo...
Oceans Absorbing Less CO2 May Have 1,500 Year Impact
2008-05-07 09:39:00 Global oceans are soaking up less carbon dioxide, a developmentthat could speed up the greenhouse effect and have an impact for thenext 1,500 years, scientists said on Wednesday. Research from a five-year project funded by the European Union showedthe North Atlantic, which along with the Antarctic is of the world's twovital ocean carbon sinks, is absorbing only half the amount of CO2 thatit did in the mid-1990s. Using recent detailed data, scientists said the amount absorbed is alsofluctuating each year, making it hard to predict how and whether thetrend will continue and if oceans will be able to perform their vitalbalancing act in the future. Oceans soak up around a quarter of annual CO2 emissions, but should theyfail to do so in the future the gas would stay in the atmosphere andcould accelerate the greenhouse effect, a prospect project directorChristoph Heinze called "alarming". Oceans are like a "slow-mixing machine". Carbon absorbed in the NorthAtlantic takes around 1,500 yea...

Two Oxygenation Events In Ancient Oceans Sparked Spread Of Complex Life
2008-02-28 10:43:00 The rise of oxygen and the oxidation of deep oceans between 635 and 551 million years ago may have had an impact on the increase and spread of the earliest complex life, including animals, according to a new study।Today, we take oxygen for granted. But the atmosphere had almost no oxygen until 2.5 billion years ago, and it was not until about 600 million years ago when the atmospheric oxygen level rose to a fraction of modern levels. For a long time, geologists and evolutionary biologists have speculated that the rise of the breathing gas and subsequent oxygenation of the deep oceans are intimately tied to the evolution of modern biological systems.To test the interaction between biological evolution and environmental change, an international team of scientists from Virginia Tech, the University of Maryland, University of Nevada at Las Vegas, and Chinese Academy of Sciences, examined changes in the geochemistry and fossil distribution of 635- to 551-million-year old sediments pres...

No Pristine Oceans Left, New Map Shows
2008-02-19 15:46:00 No areas of the world's oceans remain completely untouched by humanity's influence, according to a new study.Every area of the oceans is feeling the effects of fishing, pollution, or human-caused global warming, the study says, and some regions are being affected by all of these factors and more.A team led by Ben Halpern of the University of California, Santa Barbara, created the first global map that shows the various kinds of damage being done to marine ecosystems.The team assigned scores to 17 human impacts and tallied them up for every ocean region to reveal the overall effect people are having on marine life."The ocean is so big, I figured there would be a lot of areas that we hadn't gotten to or that people rarely get to," Halpern said."But when you look at the map, there are huge areas that are being impacted by multiple human activities," he said. "It was certainly a surprise to me."The project revealed that more than 40 percent of the world's marine ecosystems are heavi...

Scientists found that almost no areas have been left pristine and more than 40% of the world's oceans have been heavily affected."This project allows us to finally start to see the big picture of how humans are affecting the oceans," said Ben Halpern, assistant research scientist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who led the research. "Our results show that when these and other individual impacts are summed up the big picture looks much worse than I imagine most people expected. It was certainly a surprise to me."

Bleak Future for our Oceans?
2008-02-15 07:31:00 (Artist credit: Jean Luc Bozzoli)From the various reading I've done today online, it would seem that the future of our oceans looks quite bleak.Over 41% of our oceans are polluted and damaged or tainted by human activity. The only pristine places left are near the poles and with the ice caps melting, it appears it's only a matter of time before those places are affected negatively as well.Excerpts:Coastal areas are polluted by runoff. Oyster beds and fisheries are disappearing. Floating islands of trash the size of small states clutter what used to be open water. Birds and whales are struck by ships which leave a trail of oil and waste in their wakes.While subsistence fishing has a limited impact on ocean ecologies, high-impact commercial fishing dumps millions of pounds of unwanted dead fish, birds and mammals back into the ocean. This has threatened many species of turtles, birds, whales, and dolphins with extinction.Shipping traffic is the third largest culprit because there i...

Deep-sea Species' Loss Could Lead To Oceans' Collapse, Study Suggests
2007-12-29 10:27:00 ScienceDaily (Dec. 28, 2007) — The loss of deep-sea species poses a severe threat to the future of the oceans, suggests a new report publishing early online on December 27th and in the January 8th issue of Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press. In a global-scale study, the researchers found some of the first evidence that the health of the deep sea, as measured by the rate of critical ecosystem processes, increases exponentially with the diversity of species living there.link:- http://www.sciencedaily.com/rel-eases/2007/12/071227184100.htm#-Seriously... this is a matter of great concern.
