3D-Printed Coral Mimics Nature
Researchers have found a way to use a 3D printer to make a replica of coral to help study how to prevent the destruction of coral reefs due to global heating.
Pollution + Florida’s Coral Reefs: “We Are Changing The Chemistry Of The Planet”
Poop’s the problem — but septic system infrastructure repairs costs big $$.
What Color Should Corals Be?
As the sea gets warmer, corals are bleaching. Coral-gardening projects are now flourishing all over the globe to prevent this underwater mangrove from turning completely white.
Renewable Energy Is Critical To Stopping Global Warming
Fast and society-threatening global warming is being caused by several large-scale human activities. Aside from burning fossil fuels for energy, for example, large-scale deforestation for livestock “production” is a major problem. It’s true that renewable energy alone can’t stop global warming, but anyone arguing that renewable energy is pointless because it can’t stop the problem alone is missing the point. Renewable energy is one of the most important solutions to global warming and should be pursued as strongly and quickly as possible if we want to have any hope of stopping catastrophic climate change.
Study: Corals Eat Plastic Debris Because It Tastes Good To Them
Rather than it simply being the case that corals eat tiny plastic debris because they mistake it for prey, chemical additives in the plastic may be acting as a feeding stimulant — making the plastic “taste good” — according to a new study from Duke University. As a reminder here, corals have no eyes, and aren’t thought to possess much of a visual system.
