Added to these threats is the looming challenge of climate change. Observations, experiments and simulation models show that climate change would result in changes in primary productivity, shifts in distribution and changes in the potential yield of exploited marine species, [...] http://feru.sites.olt.ubc.ca/2011/11/07/mca4climate-practical-framework-planning-prodevelopment-climate-policies/ http://feru.sites.olt.ubc.ca/2011/11/07/mca4climate-practical-framework-planning-prodevelopment-climate-policies/#comments Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:22:27 +0000 nhotte http://feru.org/?p=1432 http://feru.sites.olt.ubc.ca/2011/11/07/mca4climate-practical-framework-planning-prodevelopment-climate-policies/feed/ 0 Introduction: Empirical observations and climate models both indicate that global climate and ocean conditions have been changing over the last 100 years and will likely change more rapidly in the future. Major changes include ocean warming, acidification, and expansion of oxygen minimum zones (Brierley & Kingsford 009). Biological responses to these ocean changes have been [...]
