Contaminants. Whales are polluted from contaminants dumped in to the oceans, chemicals which cause whales [...]

Over 28,000 species of fish swim in the world’s oceans and many more undiscovered species exist. Not all 28,000 species are safe eats due to contaminants, yet many still wind up on our dinner plate. Further complicating the problem, many fish stocks face rapid depletion. The result: eating fish is not as healthy as it [...]

A just- published BBC article reports that ocean chemistry is changing 10 times faster than previously thought, in response to increased CO2 absorption.

Oceanographer Jeff Ardron gives a simple, straightforward explanation of ocean acidification, the change in ocean chemistry caused by excess carbon dioxide in the air, which in turn comes from the burning of fossil fuels.

Oceana just published a comprehensive report on oceans and climate change, Acid Test. We particularly like the graphic on their site which shows the chemical reactions between carbon dioxide, seawater, and calcium carbonate, the major building block of shells.
The report details the causes and implications—ecological and economic—of ocean acidification, and lays out solutions.

Says Rob Moir of Ocean River Institute: “A Sea Change [the documentary] could not be more timely. I believe acidification of our oceans is actually a greater threat to our survival than is temperature or sea level rise, the conventional “global warming” threats.”
