#Krill help support a #diversity of #MarineLife, but they also play a major role in #BiogeochemicalCycling by trapping #carbon in the #DeepSea โ something that benefits even those of us that live far from its frigid waters.
While krill have been spotted thousands of feet deep on the #seafloor, they also come up to the surface of the water to feed on #algae that absorb #CarbonDioxide.

BOTTOM TRAWLING TO CONTINUE IN HAURAKI GOLF
Yesterday the Government announced it WILL allow destructive bottom trawling to continue in large areas of the #HaurakiGulf.
We know that #BottomTrawling is the worst kind of commercial #fishing, bulldozing the #seafloor and indiscriminately destroying ancient #coral and other #MarineLife.

โ๐บ Did you know that in 2017, only 6% of the worldโs seafloor had been mapped to modern standards? Considering the ocean spans some 70% of the Earthโs surface, thatโs a significant gap!
But over the past five years since Seabed 2030 launched, weโve been able to map almost 25% of the ocean floor.
By discovering more about the seabed, we gain a greater understanding of our environment and can ensure its protection. After all, we canโt protect what we donโt knowโฆโ

A great (essential?) resource for anything related to modern (and ancient) #seafloor.

A new study may have solved the mystery of the holes at the bottom of the Bering Sea. The study suggests that the holes are burrows made by tiny crustaceans called amphipods, which dig into the seafloor to reach a nutrient-rich layer of sediment. The study also reveals that the burrows are connected by horizontal tunnels and have claw marks on the walls.
Scientists discovered warm liquid spewing from Oregon seafloor from the Cascadia fault, a potential source of magnitude-9 earthquakes. This rare observation of fluid flow from a plate boundary could help understand earthquake hazards. The fluid may lubricate the fault, reduce stress buildup, or trigger small quakes that release energy.

#Arctic #melting is one of the most significant consequences of climate change, and it can have devastating effects on the #environment, #wildlife, and global climate. As the Arctic ice melts, it exposes the darker ocean water, which absorbs more solar radiation and heat, causing a positive feedback loop of warming. The consequences of this warming are numerous and far-reaching.
First, the melting of the Arctic ice leads to rising sea levels, which can cause flooding and erosion in low-lying areas. This can have significant impacts on human populations, particularly in areas that are already vulnerable to sea level rise.
Second, the Arctic plays a critical role in regulating global climate patterns, including ocean currents and atmospheric circulation. As the Arctic warms, these patterns can be disrupted, leading to more extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, and floods.
Third, the melting of Arctic ice also has implications for biodiversity, as species that depend on the Arctic ecosystem may struggle to adapt to the changing environment.
