Oceanic Defense: Florida may limit soft coral harvest
http://oceanicdefense.blogspot.com/2011/05/florida-may-limit-soft-coral-harvest.html
Florida may limit soft coral harvest. Divers who collect fish and coral off South Florida's coast for the domestic and international aquarium trade face potential limits on the number of sea fans, sea whips and other soft corals they can harvest — potentially curbing business for the divers and the availability for consumers' aquariums. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 62 commercial harvesters landed octocorals last year; the number of harvesters is capped at 167. The G...

Marine Phytoplankton Declining: What this means for you. Using an unprecedented collection of historical and recent oceanographic data, a team from Canada's Dalhousie University documented phytoplankton declines of about 1% of the global average per year. This trend is particularly well documented in the Northern Hemisphere and after 1950, and would translate into a decline of approximately 40% since 1950. The scientists found that long-term phytoplankton declines were negatively correlated with ...The A...

CO2 killing our coral reefs, say experts. London - The world's coral reefs are in danger of dying out in the next 20 years unless carbon emissions are cut drastically, warns a coalition of scientists led by Sir David Attenborough. The delicate ecosystems, known as the “rainforests of the sea' , support huge amounts of marine life. But as oceans absorb CO2 they become more acidic, making it impossible for structures such as the Great Barrier Reef in Australia to survive. Join us on Facebook:. ScienceDaily...
