Oceans that are warming due to climate change yield fewer fish

Article

 In the last 80 years, rising ocean temperatures have reduced the catch of 124 different fish and shellfish species. Close to 8 percent of fish populations have has losses as a result of ocean warming. Because around 3.2 billion people rely on seafood as a source of crucial nutrients, this is becoming an increasingly alarming issue. I find this very upsetting. As ocean temperatures continue to rise, we will only lose more fish species that we rely on for food and nutrients. We definitely need to work to find solutions to climate change before this problem gets any worse.

    I agree. It is disheartening to constantly hear of harm to marine life. I hope that with the more recent uproar of attention being drawn to ocean pollution and climate change, these situations can begin to be repaired.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
