TRANSCRIPT The Inside Story: Our Changing Climate (Episode 05 – September 16, 2021) Voice of VOA Correspondent CAROLYN PRESUTTI: Protecting the world we share. Global leaders take a stand on climate change. U.S. President Joe Biden: The extreme weather cost America last...

Sea Grant announces $2 million in support of the Sea Grant American Lobster Initiative to address scientific and stakeholder needs associated with this important fishery.    This is Sea Grant’s third year of research and extension funding to address critical gaps in knowledge about how American lobster is being impacted by environmental change in the Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank and southern New England. The focus of this work is based on specific language in Sea Grant’s fiscal year...

Timing and seasonality are known to be components of complicated life cycles for several marine animals, such as the Dungeness crab. Hence, disturbances to these components can severely affect their population.

UConn researchers are tracking the effects of climate change on the complex life cycle of the Dungeness crab.

OSU researcher leads project to study West Coast ocean acidification response CORVALLIS, Ore. (KTVZ) — An Oregon State University researcher is part of a new, federally supported project investigating how communities along the West Coast are adapting to ocean acidification, with the goal of determining what they need to be more resilient. Ana K. Spalding, an assistant professor of marine and coastal policy in OSU’s College of Liberal Arts, is leading a team looking into how shellfish indu...

INTERVIEW: Rutgers University Uses Slocum Glider for Ocean Acidification Study For me personally, it was the first project that Ive worked with gliders. As a biologist, it was a lot of fun, but also the partnerships made and the opportunities provided to students has been amazing. Theyve been able to work with this technology. Theyve learned a lot about chemistry just through working with the sensor. So it iss providing a lot of STEM education to our graduate and our und...

The excess carbon dioxide responsible for global warming also increases the acidity of seawater, challenging the growth and survival of oysters and other shellfish. A team led by researchers at William & Marys Virginia Institute of Marine Science is now helping oyster growers and restoration specialists better manage their future responses to acidification in the Chesapeake Bay. The team, funded by the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program, is l...

Baby lobsters may be adaptable to changes in Gulf of Maine, study shows A team examined how post-larval lobsters genes react to the effects of ocean warming, acidification and the combination of both. Share Baby lobsters may be more adaptable to rapidly changing ocean conditions than previously thought, according to results of a new study conducted in Maine.  A juvenile lobster is shown in Harpswell in 2015. A research team has examined how post-larval lobsters genes reacted to the effects of...

 A team of researchers from the University of Maine Darling Marine Center in Walpole, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in East Boothbay and Maine Department of Marine Resources in West Boothbay Harbor recently published their research on the effects of ocean warming and acidification on gene expression in the earliest life stages of the American lobster. The work was published in the scientific journal Ecology and Evolution with collaborators from the University of Prince Edward Island a...
