Our Oceans are in Decline
and Must be Restored
Ocean deserts are increasing in size and contributing to the decline in many sea animals (largely due to warming oceans and lack of food)
- Critical Ocean Organisms Are Disappearing:
- Global phytoplankton population drops 40 percent since 1950s 1950:
- Phytoplankton Productivity Down in Gulf of Maine by 65 percent in two decades:
- Record North Atlantic heat sees phytoplankton decline, fish shift to Arctic:
- Six decades of plankton decline sparks call to protect the foundation of the marine food web:
- Gray whales are starving and dying off at an alarming rate along the Pacific Coast likely due to warming waters:
- More than 10 billion snow crabs starved to death off the coast of Alaska, but why: (AK had to shut down the snow crab fishery in 2022 for the first time in history)
