Pacific salmon are highly sensitive to ocean acidification – regardless of how much they eat

Pacific salmon are highly sensitive to ocean acidification – regardless of how much they eat

Climate change is driven in part by excess carbon dioxide emissions, much of which is absorbed by the ocean, a process known as ocean acidification.

Nations will see half of their straddling stocks moving towards the high seas by 2050

Nations will see half of their straddling stocks moving towards the high seas by 2050

UBC finds that 37% of straddling stocks are projected to have significant shifts between Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) and the high seas by 2030, while more than 50% could do so by 2050.

Indigenous Knowledge invaluable in identifying important habitats

Indigenous Knowledge invaluable in identifying important habitats

Indigenous Knowledge can provide a holistic understanding of species’ habitat use given that it contains observations of multiple species across seasons and includes animals’ complex relationships with other species and habitats.

Fisheries disrupt balance of marine nutrients in countries’ Exclusive Economic Zones

Fisheries disrupt balance of marine nutrients in countries’ Exclusive Economic Zones

The 4 billion tonnes of marine organisms that global fisheries extracted from the ocean between 1960 and 2018 resulted in the depletion of over 560 million tonnes of essential nutrients vital to ecosystem health.
