Carbon dioxide emissions are killing off coral reefs and kelp forests as heat waves and ocean acidification continue damaging marine ecosystems. Greetings! In some of my previous blogs, I’ve been talking about the extremely harmful effects of ocean acidification. Ocean acidification occurs as the result of greenhouse gases [carbon dioxide – CO2] created from human activity, being…
The tropical Cooperband Butterflyfish can only tolerate a small temperature range. Ocean warming resulting from climate change could destroy this species, along with several other tropical fish species. Greetings! Today I’d like to talk about the immediate danger of our beautiful tropical reef fish brought on from the adverse effects of climate change. You see…
