National Geographic, November 29, 2018 ▶ WORLD'S LARGEST DEEP-SEA OCTOPUS NURSERY DISCOVERED, TWO MILES BENEATH THE OCEAN, Scientists discovered over 1,000 females, many brooding eggs, in shimmering "octopus garden" that may be seeping natural gas or hot water. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2018/10/deep-sea-octopus-nursery-discovered-animals-news/
The Narwhal, March 26, 2019 ▶ IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME FOR DEEP-SEA MINING Until recently, the largest ecosystem on earth has stayed mostly beyond human reach. But a new chapter in resource extraction could open up Earth’s most remote places to industrial development. The deep sea, broadly considered the area of ocean below 200 metres, encompasses half of the world’s total ocean estate. To this day, just 5 per cent of the ocean abyss has been explored. It is only in the last decade that major advances in ocean-exploring technology, growing demand for metals used for tech gadgets, and the diminishing availability of these metals on land has created the burgeoning industry of deep sea mining.
National Geographic, August 29, 2018 ▶ THE RACE IS ON TO MINE THE DEEP SEA -- BUT SCIENTISTS ARE WARY: Some of the biggest deposits of iron, copper, and rare-earth elements are in the middle of the Pacific. They come at a cost. “Deep-sea mining could end up having the largest footprint of any single human activity on the planet in terms of area of impact,” says University of Hawaii oceanographer Craig Smith. It’s already underway: pioneer excavations in Papua New Guinea and Japan
PRI Living On Earth, June 10, 2014 “We all know that mining on land has all sorts of environmental impacts. It’s very difficult to contain mine tailings, even on land. In the ocean, which, of course, is a fluid environment with all these currents, we can expect widespread pollution.” ...We can expect other ill effects, too — everything from smothering of deep sea creatures with sediment to light pollution, which in the deep sea will have an impact on creatures that have evolved to live in dark environments. Greenpeace is calling for protection measures to be put in place now, before the “experiment” begins.http://www.pri.org/stories/2014-06-10/deep-seabed-mining-new-and-lightly-regulated-ecological-experiment

The efforts were borne out of a collaboration between 40 scientists from 17 different nations trawling the waters of the Atacama Trench, a cavernous, rocky gash near the South American coast of the Pacific Ocean. The trench is home to pressures approximately 750 times what we feel at sea level, and frigid temperatures just a hair above freezing

Confined in vast numbers, these ocean wanderers have no choice but to swim in small circles, often becoming diseased + riddled with parasites.@TheGAAI @ciwf Positive News, August 14, 2019 ▶ FIGHTING FOR THE FUTURE OF WILD FISH Iceland’s wild salmon population under threat by the mighty commercial fish farming industry. Conservationists fear that the King of Fish, as Atlantic Salmon is sometimes called, is in peril once more. The threat? Iceland’s industrial salmon farming industry, which is set to more than quadruple in size. Wherever in the world commercial salmon fishing has taken place, an “environmental and biological disaster” has followed. Wild salmon stocks are so depleted in neighboring Norway that around 100 of its 450 salmon rivers are now closed to anglers. The industry uses a technique called ‘open net’ production. This involves fish being grown intensively in pens located in lakes or near the ocean shore. Each pen can contain up to 200,000 fish, with most farms comprising a minimum of four or five pens each. Environmentalists argue that the system, which is widespread in Scotland, Chile, Norway and Canada, results in widespread marine pollution (from fish waste and pesticides, primarily) and involves high mortality rates. But their main concern is what happens when farmed fish escape, something that “tens of millions” have done since the introduction of open net farming in the 1970s, according to independent scientific research. “Farmed fish have an instinct to swim and breed, so they end up entering the rivers and competing with the wild salmon population for their breeding grounds,” Mowi, the Norwegian-owned global company which produces up to 60,000 tonnes of salmon each year in the UK alone https://www.positive.news/economics/fighting-for-the-future-of-wild-fish/

AND YOU THOUGHT CONSUMER PLASTIC POLLUTION WAS BAD! Ghost nets are any fishing net that is lost abandoned or discarded at sea or on land. Unfortunately many marine organisms such as Turtles, sharks, whales, dolphins, fish and even sea bird become entangled in these silent killers often unnoticed.
Metro UK, May 31, 2019 - ▶ SEAL DIED A 'TORTURED DEATH' AFTER GETTING TRAPPED IN 35G OF UK MARINE LITTER The heartbreaking situation off the coast of Cornwall has been described as ‘one of the worst cases of entanglement seen anywhere in the world.’
GHOST FISHING - VIDEOS DERELICT FISHING NETS HAVE TURNED THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA INTO A DEATH TRAP Each year, at least 640,000 tonnes of nets and other fishing gear goes overboard and never comes back. But just because it’s lost to the sea doesn’t mean that derelict gear stops doing its jobs. The lobster pots, crab traps and dense thickets of nets that litter the sea bottom keep snaring fish and other animals for years or even decades after they go missing.

Treehugger, July 29, 2019 - ▶ ANNUAL PHOTO CONTEST REVEALS DANGERS OF GHOST NETS. Depressing photos received by the Ocean Conservancy show just how helpless marine animals are in the face of drifting nets. Once tangled up in a net, it's pretty near impossible for a marine animal to escape. While it is difficult to know just how much 'ghost gear' enters the world's oceans every year, the amount is estimated to be around 800,000 tons. The majority of fishing gear is made from plastic or other synthetic materials; it does not biodegrade, and continues to pose as much of a threat to wildlife in its 'ghost' form as it did while being used by a fishing fleet. Ghost nets also damage delicate coral reefs, amass other plastic debris, and pose a risk to ships

ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) February 18, 2015 - ▶ MORE THAN 8km OF FISHING LINE RECOVERED FROM SWAN AND CANNING RIVERS IN PERTH, AUSTRALIA "It would have otherwise ended up in the Swan and Canning estuary system, could have ended up entangling some of our wildlife, some of our dolphins, some of our black swans, as we've often seen happening over the last 12 months." Since 2008, five dolphins had been found caught in fishing line, with four of the animals dying."That is a horrific way for any creature to die, it is a very slow and painful death, and that can be caused by any discarded fishing line," ... A lot of the entanglement problems that we have seen with our wildlife, fishing line is in particular quite a problem, in fact fishing line can take up to 600 years to break down if it's just left in the environment." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-02-18/fishing-line-recovered-from-perth-waterways/6143624

It’s in our cars and our carpets, we wrap it around the food we eat and virtually every other product we consume; it has become a key lubricant of globalization — but it’s choking our future in ways that most of us are barely aware. Plastics are now one of the most common pollutants of ocean waters worldwide. Pushed by winds, tides and currents, plastic particles form with other debris into large swirling glutinous accumulation zones, known to oceanographers as gyres, which comprise as much as 40 percent of the planet’s ocean surface — roughly 25 percent of the entire earth... http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/26/opinion/choking-the-oceans-with-plastic.html

Zoologist Dr Paul Yoxon said chemicals in everyday products are accumulating in fish and shellfish on which the mammals feed, weakening their immune systems. The zoologist, who runs the International Otter Survival Fund (IOSF) on Skye with his biologist wife Grace, said hormone-disrupting chemicals, commonly found in shampoos and plastics, are also believed to be behind shrinking genitals of the male otter, affecting reproduction rates...http://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/otters-dying-early-because-of-poisoned-seas-1-3570722
NRDC -- VIDEO PLASTIC POLLUTION IN OCEANS - Help keep our marine life from eating and swimming in garbage. WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU This constant barrage (the equivalent of 136 billion milk jugs each year, estimates a study published in the journal Science) poses a serious danger to marine life. Animals can get tangled up in this trash or ingest it—either because they mistake it as prey or because the plastic has been broken down into tiny particles by seawater.

Climate Progress, June 10, 2014 A paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience suggests that dust particles embedded in Greenland’s massive ice sheet are gathering more heat than the otherwise white, reflective surface would and causing melting to accelerate. The scientists write that “recent warming in the Arctic has induced an earlier disappearance of the seasonal snow cover, uncovering large areas of bare soil and thus enhancing dust erosion.” Dust absorbs the sunlight and re-radiates it as heat. This causes earlier snowmelt that in turn exposes ice beneath the snow sooner than otherwise would have been expected — creating a feedback loop. http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/06/10/3446927/dusty-greenland-glacial-melt/

METHANE IS ABOUT 20 TIMES MORE POTENT IN WARMING THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE THAN CARBON DIOXIDE. FRACKING FOR NATURAL GAS RELEASES METHANE ***** ======================
Independent, July 08, 2014 ▶ VAST METHANE 'PLUMES' SEEN IN ARCTIC OCEAN AS SEA ICE RETREATS. Dramatic and unprecedented plumes of methane - A GREENHOUSE GAS 20 TIMES MORE POTENT THAN CARBON DIOXIDE - have been seen bubbling to the surface of the Arctic Ocean by scientists undertaking an extensive survey of the region.... it’s strongly reminiscent of what is probably the worst possible climate scenario imaginable, a feedback loop so humongous and destructive that it would lead to runaway warming that makes today's runaway warming look tame by comparison. The last time this happened, it poisoned 90 percent of all life on earth with hydrogen sulfide gas, in a process described by paleontologist Peter Ward as "life killing itself off."... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/vast-methane-plumes-seen-in-arctic-ocean-as-sea-ice-retreats-6276278.html ALSO ARTICLE http://earthsky.org/earth/scientists-discover-vast-methane-plumes-escaping-from-arctic-seafloor TruthOut, April 09, 2015 DailyKoz, July 28, 2014 Alternet, July 04, 2014 ▶ THE GIANT METHANE MONSTER THAT CAN WIPE OUT THE HUMAN RACE: Underneath the frozen Arctic are 1,000 gigatons of the world's most deadly greenhouse gas http://www.alternet.org/environment/giant-methane-monster-lurking Scientific American, August 13, 2014

"Supertrawlers are effectively floating factories and able to stay at sea for considerable periods of time. Margiris can process 250 tonnes of fish per day whilst at sea.
Pelagic fish shoals are located with the help of echo-sounding equipment. From the echogram it is possible to estimate the depth and the size of the shoal.

HOW MANY MORE FISH IN THE SEA? Al Jazeera, June 06, 2012 Seafood is the primary source of protein for more than one billion people - can they live without it? We need to start thinking more about an environmentally driven market, as opposed to a commercially driven market. Dr Maria Salta, a biological oceanographer at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom, gave Al Jazeera a bleak prognosis about the state of the oceans. "It is clear that if we continue like this, in a few years time there is not going to be much left," she said of the rampant over-fishing going on across the globe, along with the overall treatment of oceans at the hands of humans. "We are losing species every day without ever knowing about them. Sometimes humans can be like a plague to the environment." http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2012/06/201261462834779767.html

▶ TRAWLING: DESTRUCTIVE FISHING METHOD IS TURNING SEAFLOORS TO 'DESERTS'. Bottom trawling is a practice used by commercial fisheries around the world in which a large, heavy net is dragged along the ocean floor to scoop up everything in its path. Previous research has linked trawling to significant environmental impacts, such as the harvest of large numbers of non-target species, collectively termed “bycatch,” as well as destruction of shallow seabeds. Now, a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences finds this method is also resulting in long-term, far-reaching consequences in the deeper ocean and beyond.

Washington Post, July 29, 2014 -▶ THE DEEP SEA IS VAST, UNEXPLORED, AND INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT Two hundred meters beneath the surface of the ocean, there exists an ecosystem of plants and animals that directly affect our day-to-day life on land. Biogeosciences, has published a review of more than 200 studies on deep sea resources, giving us our first comprehensive look at what we gain—and steal—from the bottom of the ocean. If we don't appreciate the importance of the deep sea, researchers say, we end up hurting ourselves....by volume, 98.5 percent of the areas of the planet that can support animals are in the deep sea.... Despite all the unknown crevices, Thurber said, “we do know enough to start to understand how our actions in the deep sea can impact the environment.” These actions, he said, include mining for minerals and precious metals, as well as aggressive fishing. And what do we have to lose? “For starters, a quarter to a half of the carbon dioxide we’ve put into the atmosphere has been absorbed by the deep sea,” Thurber said. And large reservoirs of methane are contained by the biological activity in the ecosystem as well. “It’s the deep sea that makes our planet habitable,” he said... http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2014/07/29/the-deep-sea-is-vast-unexplored-and-incredibly-important/ Science News for Students, April 19, 2015 Summit Voice, October 07, 2014 OnEarth, December 03, 2014

▶ CONTROVERSY OVER IMPORTING 18 WILD BELUGA WHALES TO US MARINE PARKS (AQUARIUMS) In the United States, aquariums and marine theme parks have responded to changing public sentiment about keeping marine mammals in captivity by emphasizing that they have not captured whales and dolphins from the wild in a long time. Why put healthy wild whales through the trauma of thousands of miles of transport for display in a small tank so unlike their natural habitat? Belugas do not breed well in captivity; the captive population has been in decline for 15 years. Rather than admit that belugas have adapted poorly to confinement and should no longer be displayed, as The Humane Society of the United States and many other groups believe, the Georgia Aquarium; the three SeaWorld parks in Florida, Texas and California; the John G. Shedd Aquarium in Chicago; and the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut are doubling down on a bad investment... http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-10-26/opinion/os-ed-whales-sea-world-102612-20121025_1_beluga-whales-killer-whales-wild-whales

Global warming, researchers warn, "is rapidly emerging as a universal threat to ecological integrity and function." —The Atlantic
The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral system, has been "forever damaged" by anthropogenic global warming, according to a new study published April 18, 2019 by Nature.
Between March and November of 2016, a "record-breaking" marine heatwave caused rampant coral bleaching around the globe, and the Great Barrier Reef, located off the coast of northeastern Australia, lost nearly a third of its corals.

Mongabay, Jeremy Hance January 15, 2015 With the rise of industrialized fishing, super trawlers, deep sea exploitation, pollution, and aquaculture, the human impact on the oceans is escalating rapidly and may be on the same course as what happened on land beginning in the Nineteenth Century: an industrial revolution of the oceans with the associated ecological impacts. “Stakes for seafloor mining claims are being pursued with gold rush-like fervor. Three hundred-ton ocean mining machines and 750 foot fishing boats are now rolling off the assembly line to do this work.” “There are factory farms in the sea, and cattle-ranch style feed lots for tuna. Shrimp farms are eating up mangroves with the same appetite with which terrestrial farming consumed native prairies and forest,” added co-author Steve Palumbi with Stanford University. http://news.mongabay.com/2015/0115-hance-industrialized-oceans.html

Since the industrial revolution began, we have released 2 trillion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, and about one-third of it went into the ocean. We initially thought that the ocean taking up CO2 was a good thing – because it took it out of the atmosphere. Unfortunately, we were wrong. There has been a 30% increase in the acidity of the ocean since 1700, and we now expect that by 2100, it will have become a 100% increase. This constitutes a rate of change in ocean chemistry that is 10 times anything scientists can document over the last 50 million years

When reading this article i find it amazing what is going on around the world. Places like Antarctica are changing dramatically in ways people are not in control of. What used to be an icy and colder places is now deteriorating and melting. I find it scary in a way because what else is going to change as the years go by. What are the next generation of people going to be apart of or get to witnesses now that many places and things are coming closer to be extinct.

Focusing on Wildlife, July 18, 2019 -▶ END THE SHARK FIN TRADE IN PERU
The fins are much more valuable than shark meat, selling for as much as $500 per pound. Shark meat isn’t so popular, which is why they dump the body back into the ocean rather than bring it to the market.
Between 1.3 and 2.7 million of the 100 million sharks killed each year are killed for the shark fin trade.

But new economic activity in the region will ensure the consequences for wildlife are even more far-reaching: The Arctic Ocean is becoming noisier, and scientists believe this will have a profound impact on marine mammals that rely on sound to survive. [How Landmark Noise Settlement Protects Oceans and Industry (Op-Ed )] Official records show that the number of tankers, cargo ships and tugs transiting through the Arctic has more than doubled since 2008. Offshore oil exploration by Royal Dutch Shell and others has added to the increased industrialization. Mostly low-frequency sounds from ship engines, seismic surveys and drilling machinery overlap with and may interfere with sounds produced and received by marine mammals. http://news.yahoo.com/arctic-melts-shipping-traffic-blasts-wildlife-op-ed-191825197.html
NRDC SWITCHBOARD, April 04, 2014 ▶ MILESTONE IN OCEAN NOISE FIGHT. After five years, the International Maritime Organization adopted guidelines to reduce underwater noise from commercial ships. The ocean, simply put, is an acoustic world, and marine species depend on sound for virtually everything they do to survive: feeding, finding mates, avoiding predators, maintaining social bonds, orienting themselves in the world. But noise from shipping and other human activity has radically altered their environment. http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/mjasny/milestone_in_ocean_noise_fight.html

Summit Voice, February 15, 2014 FRISCO — Rapid climate change in the Arctic is putting enormous pressure on ecosystems, threatening biodiversity and the fundamental way of life of indigenous Arctic peoples, scientists said in a major new report. “An entire bio-climatic zone, the high Arctic, may disappear. Polar bears and the other highly adapted organisms cannot move further north, so they may go extinct. We risk losing several species forever,” said Hans Meltofte of Aarhus University, chief scientist of the report. http://summitcountyvoice.com/2014/02/15/global-warming-report-warns-of-arctic-squeeze/

FULL OCEANA REPORT, "WASTED CATCH"-pdf PHOTOS, INFOGRAPHS
▶ SHEDDING LIGHT ON STAGGERING BY-CATCH PROBLEM IN U.S. FISHERIES. According to a new Oceana report, United States fisheries discard about 17 percent to 22 percent of everything they catch every year. That amounts to a whopping 2 billion pounds of annual by-catch -- injured and dead fish and other marine animals unintentionally caught by fishermen and then thrown overboard. This includes endangered creatures like whales and sharks, as well as commercially viable fish that may have been too young or too damaged to bring to port. http://oceana.org/sites/default/files/reports/Bycatch_Report_FINAL.pdf
The Guardian Environment As much as two-thirds of healthy fish brought on to fishing vessels is thrown back into the sea dead. The UK government has hailed a "historic" EU agreement to introduce a blanket ban on the "scandal" of dumping dead fish back in the sea. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/feb/27/eu-fish-discards-ban-welcomed

▶ NEW OCEANA REPORT UNVEILS WASTED CASH IN U.S. FISHERIES. “The staggering amount of fish thrown away every year in the U.S. represents a real loss, both to fishermen and the future resilience of ocean ecosystems. ” Bycatch, the capture and waste of non-target fish and ocean wildlife, costs fishermen and the marine environment in more ways than one. In addition to being ecologically wasteful, discarding fish is akin to throwing money into the ocean. Oceana's newly released report spotlights the economic losses from bycatch—an amount that could reach a staggering $1 billion annually. http://oceana.org/en/blog/2014/06/new-oceana-report-unveils-wasted-cash-in-us-fisheries

Penguins are threatened with extinction by climate change and giant fishing trawlers from Europe and Asia stalking the oceans around Antarctica. Penguins are a protected species, but the factory-sized trawlers are vacuuming up the tiny shrimp-like krill that are their main food source. The Southern Ocean is also becoming increasingly acidic from emissions of fossil fuels and will have a significant impact on krill populations. And yet efforts to create two marine protected areas in the Southern Ocean have been blocked by China, Russia and Norway.... http://www.ipsnews.net/2013/04/krill-super-trawlers-pushing-penguins-toward-extinction/
