How Growing Sea Plants Can Help Slow Ocean Acidification
Researchers are finding that kelp, eelgrass, and other vegetation can effectively absorb CO2 and reduce acidity in the ocean. Growing these plants in local waters, scientists say, could help mitigate the damaging impacts of acidification on marine life.
More than 160 years of Walrus Haulout Observations Reported by Russians and Americans Published as Database
Walruses are marine predators that must rest out of water on sea ice or the coast between feedings along the shallow arctic sea floor. However in recent years, loss of summer sea ice has forced walruses to travel to the Arctic coasts of the U.S. and Russia where they haul-out on shore to rest. When hauling out on the coast, they often gather in large numbers and use specific locations, where they may be vulnerable to disturbance and pollution events.
