Seagrasses are widespread in shallow coastal regions of both temperate and tropical seas, covering up to 600,000 square kilometers, which is roughly the area of France. They form the basis of the entire ecosystem, which is home to numerous organisms, some of them endangered species such as turtles, seahorses and

DOOMSDAY! CRABS MORTALITY RATE KEEPS RISING ON NORTH ENGLAND BEACHES
Early in the month of October, countless of crustaceans have been found to washed up dead around Redcar, Seaton carew and farther north in Seaham. According to one of the residents of Seaton Carew, Carl Clyne, he said in quote “There were dead crabs in every rock pool and quite
HIDDENFJORD ADOPTED AN ECO-FRIENDLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THEIR GOODS
A Faroese salmon farming enterprise operated by a family has embraced a novel means of distributing its goods, fresh salmon, using ocean-going ships. The company did this after neglecting the use of air freight. This is thought to have lowered CO2 emissions and may also aid in the creation of
TILAPIA FARMING IS LIKELY TO BE A POTENTIAL MAGIC SOLUTION TO THE FOOD CRISIS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA.
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
