'Coral lab' offers acidity insight

CO2 emissions are harming the world’s big oceans and most importantly the greatest coral reefs of the world. The acidity of the water has gone up to 7.9pH this means that many corals will die because of it. They are experimenting in laboratories is they can survive a high concentration of acidity. Some species of coral do seem to keep on living but the majority dies. That’s what the scientist worried about, they calculate that in 2025 many corals will end up dying and therefore many animals will die. They are trying to tell the government to cut down CO2 emissions.

Deep water fish decline concerns

There has been serious restriction of fishing in the East-North Atlantic because of the great decline of fish. There has been a study in Ireland of their stocks of fish since 1970 until 2006 and they recall that the great majority of deep sea fish, their numbers have decreased a great percent since the last decade. Also a lot of the times deep sea fishing catches fish not needed and kill them for nothing. Some fish live a 100 years and they don’t reproduce and they are coming to an end. Finally, our oceans are coming to an end and their species are threatened to disappear.

Poached skins matched to tigers

A new device has been invented by the English and the Indian that is able to identify individual tigers by their stripes and patterns. It was originally used to see the marks of the seals. With this 3D device they are able to identify by computer any tiger that they would like to know about. This device will make it easier for Scientist to estimate how many tigers are left in the world and how many of them have some kind of disease like AIDS.
