Ocean Conservation: Ocean Acidification and the Impacts of Fish Migration

Green Tech Challenge

Put simply, ocean acidification is the imbalance of chemical content in ocean water; whereby there is increased acidity, and upward temperature changes. The ocean has experienced a 26% pH drop in the last century. Ocean acidification has negative effects on sea-life and the ecosystem.

The new vocabulary of climate change was written in Icelandic

Grist

On Time and Water , which topped the bestseller list in Iceland when it came out in 2019, has been translated into more than 20 languages. We see headlines and think we understand the words in them: ‘glacial melt,’ ‘record heat,’ ‘ocean acidification,’ ‘increasing emissions,’” he writes. “If The personal works as an entry point.

Rising sea temperatures and coral loss: “Most detailed scientific picture to date”

Envirotec Magazine

Ocean acidification, global warming, pollution: the causes of these threats are many and particularly difficult to address, insofar as they are extremely diffuse, and result from our entire development paradigm. The longer-term decline seen during the last decade coincided with persistent elevated SSTs.

Carbfix turns emissions into stone

AGreenLiving

” Carbon emissions are the top reason for global warming and a major factor in extreme weather events and ocean acidification. In 2019, Carbfix became a subsidiary of Reykjavik Energy, then in 2020 it began operating as a separate entity. The project first started in 2006.

The answer to climate-killing cow farts may come from the sea

But the incident pointed to a serious problem: Ruminant livestock, mostly cattle, account for 30 percent of all global methane emissions, pumping out 3 gigatons of the gas every year in their burps, farts, and manure. It can reverse ocean acidification by absorbing carbon dioxide.

Reaching net zero requires climate intervention and aggressive mitigation

Business Green

To limit global warming to a peak of 1.5C, which the impacts we are experiencing at 1.35°C °C warming (based on an average of the last 10 years) make clear is a higher than desirable goal. The risk is that this is now occurring every year and the rate could well be increasing as amplified polar warming increases.

UN report: Ocean-based climate action could deliver a fifth of emissions cuts needed to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C

Envirotec Magazine

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (to be released on September 25), is expected to highlight major threats to the ocean from climate change, such as declining fish stocks, rising sea levels and increasing ocean acidification.
