As a result of Sub-Saharan Africa’s rapidly growing population, the region’s demand for fish may outstrip its fish production, resulting in food production deficits. In response to this tilapia farming could contribute to reducing the likelihood of future food insecurity. Thus, this will make food affordable and sustainable. For more

FIRST RAIN RECORDED IN YEARS IN GREENLAND’S ICE SHEET
At Greenland Summit Camp, a research outpost in the island’s (usually) frozen ice shelf, it rained for the first time in recorded history. If you’re wondering why it matters that it rained in a remote Arctic landscape, consider the following: Greenland’s melting ice, according to Earther, could raise sea levels
SEAWEED HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO MINIMIZE NITROGEN RUNOFF FROM RIVER
Nitrogen is a fertilizer substance that is used to boost the growth of natural food in an aquatic body. An overabundance of this nutrient in water, on the other hand, can stimulate the growth of plants and algae. This can result in algae blooms and eutrophication in a body of water. Scientists and experts from Tell Aviv University and Berkeley University have created a model for cultivating stalk kelp near Israel’s Alexander River estuary. In circumstances of excess nitrogen, the model hopes that planting seaweed near the river will help conform the nitrogen concentration to environmental norms and thereby neutralize environmental contamination.

FLOODING IN EUROPE
Four days before deadly floods swept through western Germany and parts of Belgium last week, Hannah Cloke saw a forecast of extreme rain on a Europe-wide flood alert system to which she belongs. Researchers “were stupidly congratulating ourselves that we were forecasting something so early. … The assumption was that
BOILING!!: HEAT WAVE KILLED MARINE ANIMALS IN MASSE
It was an obscene scene along the Pacific coast as many Marine Animals were seen, washed up to the shore either dead or taking their last breath. Most especially the Blue Mussels alongside others like the Star Fish, Clams and Salmons were particularly hit hard by recent Heat Wave that
SEA-LEVEL RISE MAY WORSEN EXISTING SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA INEQUITIES
Picture 1: Sea level rise An effect of climate change to the ocean is sea level rise. Researchers from Standford university have examined the coastal communities in San Mateo County, California — including half the households in East Palo Alto and found out that they are at a risk if
OCEAN MICROPLASTICS: FIRST GLOBAL VIEW SHOWS SEASONAL CHANGES AND SOURCES
A great discovery was achieved by the University of Michigan researchers. Ocean microplastics can now be detected across the globe and tracking of the microplastics, providing a day-by-day timeline of where they enter the water, how they move and where they tend to collect. This innovation is based on the
FEMALE SALMON ARE DYING AT HIGHER RATES THAN MALE SALMON
Recently, it has been observed that the female adult sockeye from the Fraser River are dying at a significant rates than the males, when they journey back to their spawning grounds. Researcher Dr. Scott Hinch, a professor in the faculty of forestry and head of the Pacific Salmon Ecology and
EXCESSIVE!!! The World’s Largest Carbon Sink, The Seabed, Now Releases As Much Carbon As Much As Air Travel
When carbon is released from the seabed sediment into the water, it can increase ocean acidification, as well as adversely affecting productivity and biodiversity. According to a recent study released by 26 different marine biologist Bottom trawling, a widespread practice in which heavy nets are dragged along the seabed now
SCIENTISTS SURPRISED BY SEA SLUGS THAT SEVER THEIR OWN HEADS AND REGROW BRAND-NEW BODIES
Commonly, there are some animals that can loose and regenerate a tail or limb, unlike these animals, scientist have discovered two species of sacoglossan sea slug, that can regenerate more better. These specie have the ability to regenerate a whole new body complete with the heart and other internal organs.
