Global warming will reduce ocean productivity, marine life
12-06-2006 · EurekAlert!A 10-year, satellite-based analysis has shown for the first time that primary biological productivity in the oceans -- the growth of phytoplankton that forms the basis for the rest of the marine food chain -- is tightly linked to climate change, and would be reduced by global warming. This would cause a rapid, overall reduction in marine life.

11-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have revealed an important discovery that raises doubts concerning the viability of plans to fertilize the ocean to solve global warming, a projected $100 billion venture. According to Dr. Michael Lutz at UM's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, ocean fertilization schemes, which resemble an artificial summer, may not remove as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as has been suggested, because they ignore important natural processes.

- Acid Rain Has a Disproportionate Impact on Coastal Waters
09-07-2007 · Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)
The release of sulfur and nitrogen into the atmosphere by
power plants and agricultural activities plays a minor role in making the ocean
slightly more acidic on a global scale, but the impact is greatly amplified in
the shallower waters of the coastal ocean, according to new research by
atmospheric and marine chemists.
