The oceans are threatened with death, warn

PUB / The world's oceans are at risk of entering a phase of extinction of marine species is unprecedented in the history of mankind.
The world's oceans are at risk of entering a phase of extinction of marine species unprecedented in human history , comparable only to the carnage that 55 million years ago caused the disappearance of 50 percent of deep-sea fish . A study by international experts, whose summary was presented at the network as a world first, claims that "there is strong scientific evidence" that the oceans are given the same conditions present "in all mass extinctions over the Earth history, "five in the last 600 million years. The document, "2011 International Expert Workshop on the Earth system: effects and pressures on the oceans," will be presented in New York during the annual meeting of UNICPOLOS (United Informal Consultative Process on Nations Oceans and the Law of the Sea), convened today by the General Assembly of the United Nations. Experts say "could have taken the first steps toward fighting global importance", the trigger has been increased anthropogenic emissions of CO2. The report identifies carbon assimilation levels higher now than during the last mass extinction of marine species (55 million years ago) and remember one incident of coral bleaching in 1998 killed 16 percent of coral reefs in the tropics worldwide. The summary of the study, which involved up to 27 researchers specializing in the marine environment, identifies overexploitation, pollution, warming of water, acidification and lack of oxygen, in some cases even their total disappearance (anoxia), the factors that herald the catastrophe. The data also reports the presence of flame retardants and synthetic musks associated with detergents that are coupled to ingested plastic particles and marine life, and entering the human food chain. These residues make artificial transportation to the colonies of algae that grow dangerously, also for excess CO2, choking whole areas of the sea, already known as "zones dead ", which interrupts the natural life cycle. The group met last April at the University of Oxford, England, agreed that, subject to multiple attacks, "the oceans and ecosystems may not recover" . The meeting, convened by the International Programme on the State of the Oceans (IPSO), emphasizes that "the findings are shocking," and the "cumulative effect" of aggression multiplies the known predictions of the same actions as individuals
