The world’s oceans are hiding 50 billion tonnes of sand and gravel. This is the first global estimate of the amount of marine aggregates, which are extracted for construction and land reclamation. The extraction could have negative impacts on marine ecosystems, coastal erosion and carbon storage.

“The world’s #oceans — more than 70% of the Earth’s surface — were the hottest ever recorded, nearly 21 C (69.8 F), and have set high temperature marks for 3 consecutive months, the WMO and Copernicus said” #ClimateCrisis

One million lorries of sand a day are being extracted from the world’s oceans, posing a “significant” threat to marine life and coastal communities, according to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The rate of extraction is growing globally and is approaching the natural rate of replenishment of 10bn to 16bn tonnes of sand flowing into the sea from rivers and needed to maintain coastal structure and ecosystems.

A potentially perilous option.

"That blanket of pollution is already warming the planet and causing more #ExtremeWeather disasters. One way to keep #ClimateXhange from getting worse is to take some of those historic emissions out of the atmosphere.

#Oceans already do that for us, absorbing and holding around 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere. What if humans could supercharge that ability?"

It’s time to put oceans to the test in the #ClimateFight,scientists say

Mongabay Environmental News - International outcry as Iceland lifts ban on what could be last whale hunt

The Icelandic government has announced that commercial whaling will recommence following a two-month suspension of the activity, albeit with increased monitoring and stricter hunting regulations.

The government temporarily banned whaling in June due to animal welfare concerns, but the ban expired on Aug. 31.
