“These people are book smart, but when it comes to common sense, they have nothing,” said Travis Dardar about the project. Dardar is a Cameron-based fisher and founder of the group, Fishermen Involved in Sustaining our Heritage (FISH).

According to a report from the Center for International Environmental Law, in the best-case scenario, the injection of captured carbon may temporarily disrupt fisheries because of drilling and seismic testing.

In the worst-case scenario, underwater carbon sequestration wells could fail and release the stored carbon, killing off the plants, fish and even the people in boats in the waters above. Storing carbon also has potential global implications, if, as opponents claim, carbon capture and sequestration will allow the fossil fuel industry to maintain the status quo as one of the world’s top emitters of greenhouse gasses.

The research “has revealed that storing carbon dioxide underground is not an exact science,” IEEFA said. “It may carry even more risk and uncertainty than drilling for oil or gas, given the very limited practical, long-term experience of permanently keeping CO2 in the ground.”

Ocean acidification has been referred to as “climate change’s evil twin” because it intensifies many of the same issues associated with global warming and presents unique challenges. While climate change leads to rising ocean temperatures and altered weather patterns, ocean acidification directly threatens marine chemistry and biology.

The pace of acidification is alarming, estimated to be about 100 times faster than any natural changes over the past 650,000 years,

The naming of a new deep-sea ocean animal pays tribute to Cervante’s novel Don Quixote and reinforces themes of sweetness and beauty.

The FRONTLINE project will use autonomous underwater vehicles, satellite remote sensing and other surveys to investigate how the rapid expansion of FLOW and climate warming is likely to affect oceanographic processes and marine life.

This study aims to bridge that knowledge gap, providing insights to guide measures that protect marine ecosystems amid the increasing demands on our oceans. The findings will also help ensure that the rapid expansion of offshore wind farms, vital for achieving global net-zero targets, is delivered sustainably.

Austrian scientists uncovered a hidden undersea world with gigantic ‘worms’ lurking beneath the Earth’s crust.

Shell has agreed to settle its controversial multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Greenpeace after its campaigners boarded an oil rig last year as part of a peaceful protest.

As part of the final settlement, Greenpeace will accept no liability and pay no money to Shell. The group will instead donate £300,000 to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

Recent studies have revealed that variations in ocean density significantly influence the efficiency with which marine plankton incorporate carbon into their shells. This finding has important implications for carbon cycling and the ocean’s ability to reduce atmospheric CO2 levels in the context of climate change. Traditionally, research has focused on the impacts of ocean chemistry and acidification on the biomineralization process of marine plankton. Nonetheless, this pioneering study redirects attention to the essential role of physical ocean characteristics on this important process.

Norway has suspended plans to start giving licences for deep-sea mining next year that had faced opposition from environment groups and international institutions, a party allied with the centre-left government said on Sunday.

"There will be no announcement of exploration rights for deep-sea mining in 2024 or 2025," the party said in a statement.

Watson does not describe himself as a protester. He regards himself as an enforcer of international treaties on whaling and animal welfare.
