Trends of oceanic oxygen and Climate Change

We need to know more about our oceans and what's happening with the main gas that's vital to our live and planet life = the oxygen! Click on the image bellow and enjoy a good paper telling us about the trends in oceanic oxygen.

These informations could be useful to us to understand the possibilities with the climate change in the ocean. However there are a lot of concern about the true actions between countries in international agreements (eg. Convention on Climate Change) to understand and use this information preventing and taking care of the future of Life Planet. To know more about these huge challenges enjoy the links bellow.

New Perspectives from the Mesopelagic Community

The marine biodiversity lies so vulnerable around the world from humankind services. But new discoveries and perspectives have been presented to explore other alternatives of food provision, nutraceutical products and even climate regulations. Nevertheless we don't know how these new discoveries to exploration will guarantee the protection and conservation of species that could be vulnerable and endangered in the near future.

“The oceans are emptying of seafood” - What have been done to rebuilt fish stocks?

The global fishing activities have took several species of marine fishes to the collapse and the management policies and their legislation try to raise some solutions and put them in practice. However win the battles with the fishing industries and their economy is not a easy task to conserve and improve fish stocks. Click on the image bellow and read about the example of catch-share program implement in the USA... thinking and reflecting if this program in practice could be a good or bad solution to improve and rebuit the target marine species in the near future!
