Reducing stressors that exacerbate ocean acidification conditions — Managers can support the resilience of reefs by reducing other stressors that affect marine ecosystems (e.g., declining water quality, coastal pollution, and overfishing of important species and functional groups, such as herbivores.

One other thing nobody is talking about is the fact that fish are going extinct from the oceans, and factory fish farms are creating huge amounts of coastal pollution and fish are still going extinct in the oceans because they need to catch SO many smaller fish to feed the salmon.

In the film, marine biologists from the 60 - year - old Carmabi Research Institute, Secore Foundation and Waitt Institute explain why the island's geography and other factors have fortuitously preserved remarkably vibrant reefs in some spots despite decades of pollution, cruise ship traffic and coastal construction.

Coastal development and mangrove removal change the natural tendencies of the coastal waters and high bacteria counts and other pollutants can affect coral much less estuaries whose rivers carry industrial pollution.

And it's quite clear that regions already heavily affected by other human activities (coastal pollution, overfishing, etc.) are — no surprise — likely to feel more stress from acidification.

Similar negative effects occur with worsening air pollution — higher levels of ground - level ozone smog and other pollutants that increase with warmer temperatures have been directly linked with increased rates of respiratory and cardiovascular disease — food production and safety — warmer temperatures and varying rainfall patterns mess up staple crop yields and aid the migration and breeding of pests that can devastate crops — flooding — as rising sea levels make coastal areas and densely - populated river deltas more susceptible to storm surges and flooding that result from severe weather — and wildfires, which can be ancillary to increased heat waves and are also responsible for poor air quality (not to mention burning people's homes and crops).

Campaign kicks off to engage coastal defenders to reverse plastic pollution and other threats to the ocean and coasts for the future.

A wide range of human activities affect marine biodiversity both in direct ways, such as exploitation by fisheries, habitat loss due to dredging, filling, and other construction influences, fishing gear impacts, and pollution, and in less direct ways, including effects of global change resulting in acidification, warmer waters, and coastal inundation.

Together, they will provide educational briefing sessions, spearhead beach monitoring and cleanups to help protect clean water, reduce plastic pollution and coastal erosion, and provide support to defend the coasts from offshore drilling and other environmental issues facing the Santa Barbara and Goleta coastlines.
