How Is Climate Change Affecting Ocean Waters and Ecosystems? Biological oceanographer Hugh Ducklow studies the marine food web, and how it interacts with the physical properties of the oceans Much of his work is through the U S Long Term Ecological Research Program (LTER), in which researchers have for decades investigated trends across 28 land and marine regions in the United States, along with a few sites elsewhere
Plastic pollution of the world’s seas and oceans as a . . . The problem of plastic pollution in the world’s seas and oceans has attracted increasing scientific concern 1, with calls for an international agreement to address this issue Any such agreement
What Do Sharks And Dolphins Have In Common - Naturefins One striking similarity between sharks and dolphins is their adaptation to life as top predators in the marine food chain Both groups occupy apex predator roles within their respective ecosystems, exerting significant control over the populations of other marine species
Scientists take a deep dive into how sharks use the ocean “Sharks and rays are iconic but threatened ocean species Key to their effective management is an understanding of their basic ecology,” said David Curnick, head of the Ocean Predator Lab at
Could the megalodon still exist today? | Live Science "As humans kill as many as 100 million sharks every year, with larger sharks being at particular risk to this, they would probably not be able to survive us rather than the other way around
