Our Earth is becoming unlivable. Can we still turn the tide?
May 19, 2023

We have crossed six of the nine boundaries within which human life on Earth will still be possible for future generations. That is not good news. Can the tide still be turned? The planetary boundaries were discussed on May 9 as part of the Leiden University Green Office's Sustainability Day.

Incorporating traditional management techniques to combat effects of ocean acidification
October 13, 2022

Ocean acidification is a major concern related to climate change, with the oceans currently absorbing around a quarter of the carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere.

Fishing communities struggle for their livelihood
April 1, 2022

Increasing temperatures globally not only engenders global warming but gives rise to ocean acidification, destroying marine ecosystems. Fishermen across Fiji say coral bleaching is an issue being noticed in some fishing grounds, causing a decline in fish stock.

Revealing the ramifications of ocean acidification for coralline algae
November 5, 2021

Scientists have long suspected that coralline algae are particularly sensitive to changes in ocean chemistry. Now, researchers have found that most species of coralline algae studied are negatively affected by ocean acidification.

Coral reef biodiversity predicted to shuffle rather than collapse as climate changes
September 22, 2021

New research led by scientists at the University of Hawai'i (UH) at Mānoa reveals that the species which dominate experimental coral reef communities shift due to climate change, but the total biodiversity does not decline under future ocean conditions of warming and acidification

Sea turtles: Can these great marine migrators navigate rising human threats?
September 21, 2021

Humanity is quickly crossing critical planetary boundaries that threaten sea turtle populations, their ecosystems and, ultimately, the “safe operating space” for human existence.

Projected acidification of the Great Barrier Reef could be offset by ten years
June 10, 2021

New research has shown that by injecting an alkalinizing agent into the ocean along the length of the Great Barrier Reef, it would be possible, at the present rate of anthropogenic carbon emissions, to offset ten years' worth of ocean acidification.

Proposal To Protect Pacific Corals Exempts Military Training Areas
February 25, 2021

A National Marine Fisheries Service proposal to designate 230 square miles of critical habitat for seven threatened coral species in the Pacific Ocean is getting mixed reviews from environmental advocates due to an exemption for military training areas.
