Declining Calcification on the Great Barrier Reef
Written by Ava - ReefTank Community Blog on 09/03/10
I am very pleased that ReefTank are reflecting the deterioration of the Great Barrier Reef - almost certainly caused by progessive ocean acidification. With up to 200,000 aquarists monitoring this blog, it is an important means of 'spreading the word' on the need for a reduction in CO2 emissions. The surfeit of atmospheric CO2 is absorbed by the world's oceans creating a dilute form of carbonic acid .... | |

Holly East is a second-year undergraduate at Cambridge University hoping to go to Hoga (Sulawezi,Indonesia) this summer with Operation Wallacea to research biomass levels in relation to proximity to coral reefs.

Ran Elfassy - Shark Rescuer
Written by Hamish Mckenzie (Time Out - Hong Kong) - Feb 2010 on 04/02/10
Hongkonger: Ran Elfassy, shark rescuer
Sharks are very important creatures, but they have terrible PR. As the beasts that swim at the top of the underwater food chain, their very existence is crucial to sustaining the health of marine eco systems – but how often do you hear about that? Instead, we greedy humans gobble them up in massive quantities without a second thought, whether it be in .... | |
