A new study shows that there is a stable population of comb jellies, living in the Baltic Sea, whose members never reach adulthood. FHL‘s Claudia Mills is quoted; read more here!

Inst Appl Ecol, Corvallis, OR Journal: NORTHWEST SCIENCE New research by OCEAN’s Giora Proskurowski shows that wind pushes plastics below the surface of the ocean. This means that the decades of research on trash in the ocean, based on surface skimming, may have vastly underestimated the quantity. Read more here or check out this video! From Puget Sound’s endangered southern residents to the transient whales living hundreds of miles offshore, filler whales are inhaling bacteria, fungi and viruses once believed to be found only on land. Some of the pathogens are highly virulent. And some are even antibiotic-resistant. This article discusses the work of CoEnv alum/NOAA NWFSC scientist Brad Hanson and UW affilate professor David Bain to understand these dynamics and their implications is discussed. The Coral Sea, off the coast of Australia, was the site of an important WWII battle. Now, a battle of a different sort is being waged–between conservationists and fishing industries. SAFS‘s Ray Hilborn is quoted; read more here.  Image courtesy of Ocean's Edge The Endeavour hydrothermal vents, off of Canada’s Vancouver Island, make up a sub-sea site as strangely beautiful as it can be toxic. UW’s Thomas G. Thompson and the work done by those on board are mentioned in this story about what you can find when you journey to the bottom of the sea. Even as studies show that the public is increasingly connecting extreme weather events to climate change, scientists are continuing to say “not so fast”. We need to consider the scales of these events across time and space. For example, in ATMO‘s John M. Wallace‘s op ed in the LA Times, he states that “large areas of the U.S. were just about as warm in March 1910 as they were in March 2012″. Read more here. |
