A study found #oceaacidification—the process in which the world’s oceans absorb excess #carbondioxide from the #atmosphere, becoming more acidic—crossed a “planetary boundary” five years ago.
#NOAA determined that #ocean acidification enters this danger zone or crosses this planetary boundary when the amount of calcium carbonate—which allows marine organisms to develop shells—is less than 20% compared to pre-industrial levels. The new report puts the figure at about 17%.

2024 was the warmest year on record for the global ocean – topping a record-breaking 2024.
Is this just extreme variability, or the start of a new warming surge? Either way, the impacts are already here.
Coral bleaching
Extreme weather
Ecosystem loss
Here's a look at the four 35mm chonks that will be available on Saturday!
A little bit of ocean stuff, a little bit of mushroom magic and a little bit of non-binary pride!
Full previews will be coming soon to the website
I'm too hot just not from digging up weeds which is why I have chosen to post this cooling image...why not step right in!

“UN chief Antonio Guterres has warned of peril as the world's oceans face "predatory" mining, masses of plastic waste and rising sea temperatures. “
But support for high seas treaty is growing
https://www.dw.com/en/high-seas-treaty-uns-guterres-warns-of-wild-west/a-72848635
“The High Seas Treaty is the first legally binding agreement focused on protecting marine biodiversity in international waters….
Until now, there has been no comprehensive legal framework to create marine protected areas or enforce conservation on the high seas.”
