Seagrass found to be a powerful carbon sponge with a surprising weakness https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/09/250905112306.htm
Seagrass, a vital coastal ecosystem, may be one of the planet’s best natural carbon sponges—but its fate depends on how we manage nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. While moderate nutrient input can supercharge seagrass growth and boost carbon storage, too much—especially nitrogen—fuels phytoplankton that block sunlight and devastate seagrass beds.

UC Santa Barbara researchers project that human impacts on oceans will double by 2050, with warming seas and fisheries collapse leading the charge. The tropics and poles face the fastest changes, and coastal regions will be hardest hit, threatening food and livelihoods worldwide.

‘Only a matter of time’: Warming ocean water will make #FleshEatingBacteria that infected #CapeCod swimmer more common
By Sabrina Shankman Globe
August 15, 2025
"News that a Cape Cod swimmer contracted an infection from a bacteria that can cause a flesh-eating disease earlier this month has stunned many across #Massachusetts, but it was no surprise to David Hamer, an infectious disease expert at Boston University.
" 'It’s been sort of only a matter of time,' said Hamer, who helps lead work on #ClimateChange and emerging diseases at the university.
"The infection was caused by a #VibrioVulnificus — a bacteria that thrives in warm water and is more commonly found in areas like the Gulf Coast. Other bacteria in the Vibrio family, including those that cause cholera and acute gastroenteritis, similarly thrive in warm water.
"That’s where climate change comes in, making #NewEngland waters friendlier for the potentially deadly bacteria. 'With warmer water temperatures moving further north, it allows Vibrios to survive, during summer months in particular, at higher latitudes than it had previously,' said Hamer.
"And the water is warmer. Midsummer ocean temperatures were about 2.75 degrees warmer in the period from 2021 to 2025 than they were 20 years ago, according to data from an ocean temperature monitor in #WoodsHole, near where the swimmer contracted the virus."

Scientists Alarmed as #Whales Suddenly Going Silent
"When you really break it down, it’s like trying to sing while you're starving."
Aug 1, 10:27 AM EDT by Victor Tangermann
"Researchers are alarmed after noticing a significant drop in the number of vocalizations from #BlueWhales.
"As National Geographic reports, scientists used specialized underwater hydrophones, meaning the aquatic version of microphones, to record and trace the sounds of marine life, allowing them to analyze the impact human activity is having on various species.
"However, as detailed in a study published in the journal PLOS One, devastating heat waves have triggered worrying changes over the past decade, allowing #ToxicAlgae to bloom and undermine food sources for whales.
" 'It caused the most widespread poisoning of marine mammals ever documented,' coauthor and Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute biological oceanographer John Ryan told NatGeo. 'These were hard times for whales.'
"As a result, blue whale vocalizations dropped by almost 40 percent, according to the study, with populations of #krill and #anchovy collapsing.
" 'When you really break it down, it’s like trying to sing while you're starving,' Ryan explained. 'They were spending all their time just trying to find food.' "

The oceans are overheating—and scientists say a climate tipping point may be here https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/07/250724232417.htm

In 2023, the world’s oceans experienced the most intense and widespread marine heatwaves ever recorded, with some events persisting for over 500 days and covering nearly the entire globe. These searing ocean temperatures are causing mass coral bleaching and threatening fisheries, while also signaling deeper, system-wide climate changes.
