Es ist ein deutliches Alarmsignal. Die Forscher des International Programme on the State of the Ocean (IPSO) und der Weltnaturschutzunion IUCN widersprechen in ihrem neuesten Bericht zum Zustand der Weltmeere den Erkenntnissen und Warnungen des Weltklimarates IPCC: Was die Ozeane angehe, sei alles noch viel schlimmer, als im letzten Bericht des Klimarates geschildert. In drastischer Form warnen die Experten vor den Konsequenzen einer zunehmenden Versäuerung des Meerwassers.

Allarme per gli oceani: uno studio del Programma internazionale sullo stato degli oceani (Ipso) evidenzia che le acque si stanno deteriorando piu' velocemente del previsto a causa di quello che viene definito un 'trio mortale' formato da riscaldamento globale, declino dei livelli di ossigeno e acidificazione.

El calentamiento global, la desoxigenación y la acidificación del agua podrían causar una masiva extinción de especies marinas, peor que la ocurrida hace 55 millones de años. "La próxima extinción masiva de especies podría haber empezado", señala un informe publicado por el Programa Internacional Sobre el Estado de los Océanos (IPSO, por sus siglas en inglés) y la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (IUCN, siglas en inglés).

D’après une étude réalisée par l’Union Internationale pour la Conservation de la Nature et le Programme International de l’Etat de l’Océan, les océans du monde sont dans un état critique à cause du changement climatique induit par l’homme.

The health of the world’s oceans is deteriorating even faster than had previously been thought, a report says.
A review from the International Programme on the State of the Ocean (IPSO), warns that the oceans are facing multiple threats.
They are being heated by climate change, turned slowly less alkaline by absorbing CO2, and suffering from overfishing and pollution.
The report warns that dead zones formed by fertiliser run-off are a problem.

Environmental issues affecting the land and ocean and their inter-connectedness, will be the focus of some 250 delegates attending the Second Global Conference on Land-Ocean connections in Montego Bay, St. James.
Staged by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the conference is being held from October 2 to 4, at the Hilton Rose Hall Hotel, under the theme: ‘Building Bridges through Partnerships’. The delegates are representing approximately 70 different countries.

A TOTAL of 1,609 kilograms or about 1.6 tons of garbage were picked Friday, September 20, from the Panagsama Beach in Moalboal, Cebu in what was considered the biggest coastal cleanup in town.
The cleanup, organized by Johan Blixt of Neptune Diving Adventure and as part of the activities lined up by Project AWARE Foundation, gathered around 116 people, excluding divers from different resorts in Moalboal, a southern town in Cebu.
