The Crystal Reef: How Climate Change Is Affecting Our Oceans | 360 | TIME
This 360 video shows how climate change is affecting the world’s reefs and oceans. Subscribe to TIME ►► http://po.st/SubscribeTIME Half of the world’s coral reefs have died in the last 30 years. New research in the journal Nature shows that even if people succeed in protecting reefs from pollution and overfishing, global warming remains a deadly threat. In The Crystal Reef, viewers meet marine scientist Dr. Fio Micheli and see the effects of climate change. With Micheli, viewers explore a rocky reef off the coast of Italy to learn about ocean acidification and the toll that human-produced carbon dioxide is taking on the reef. The Crystal Reef was produced by Cody Karutz. He worked with Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab (VHIL) to create the experience. The Crystal Reef is now offered on Blue Trot and LIFE VR.

A new treaty to protect our ocean
The ocean benefits everyone, but most of it doesn't belong to anyone. Without rules to manage how ocean resources are used, too many people can take too much - leaving our ocean dangerously overexploited. WWF supports a new treaty that commits countries to protecting the health of the ocean, because a healthy planet depends on a healthy ocean. A robust and fair treaty will help nations, businesses and communities manage ocean resources sustainably, for the benefit of people and nature. #OurPlanet #OneOceanOnePlanet

Accelerating Coastal Community-Led Conservation
WWF supports community-led efforts to protect critical marine resources. These projects have helped communities map the future they want for their coastal environment – and take action to make it happen. Now it’s time to think bigger. Our ocean is in crisis, so we need to do much more, much faster. WWF and partners are helping to scale up lessons from individual coastal communities across the world’s most important seascapes.

How Big The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Really Is
Eight million tons of plastic winds up into the world’s oceans every year, much of that accumulating in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. That 80,000 tons of fishing net, bottles, and other trash has more pieces of plastic than there are stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. And it’s only getting bigger. ------------------------------------------------------ #GreatPacificGarbagePatch #Recycling Science Insider tells you all you need to know about science: space, medicine, biotech, physiology, and more. Subscribe to our channel and visit us at: http://www.businessinsider.com/science Science Insider on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BusinessInsiderScience/ Science Insider on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/science_insider/ Business Insider on Twitter: https://twitter.com/businessinsider Tech Insider on Twitter: https://twitter.com/techinsider ------------------------------------------------------ How Big The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Really Is Following is a transcript of the video: Plastic is a massive problem that we as humans face and have subjected upon the other beings we share this planet with. In the middle of the ocean lies the Giant Pacific Garbage Patch that shows us just how much this problem has gotten out of hand. Here are some comparisons on how massive the Giant Pacific Garbage Patch is. Following is a transcript of the video. The world produces enough plastic each year to build 50 Pyramids of Giza. That’s over 350 million tons of candy wrappers, PVC pipes, and synthetic t-shirts. While most of it ends up in landfills 8 million tons wind up in our oceans each year. Where most finds its way into massive garbage patches around the world. And the biggest of them all is called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. How Big The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Really Is. If you picked up each piece of plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch you’d carry away about 1.8 trillion individual pieces. That’s ten times more than there are stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. And it would weigh a whopping 80,000 tons. Equivalent to the weight of three Statues of Liberty. Half of the entire patch is made of plastic fishing nets, lines, and ropes, which come from intense fishing activity near the area. The other half is mostly hard plastics and films, like water bottles and plastic wrap. But don’t let the name “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” fool you. It doesn’t look like a giant mountain of trash at all. It’s actually scattered over a region of ocean that’s twice the size of Texas, according to some estimates. So if you wanted to pick up every piece of plastic, it would take you 121 days at a walking pace of 5 km/hr to cover the entire area. Though in reality, there’s no true end since the garbage patch is constantly ebbing and flowing with the ocean currents. But let’s pretend you could scoop it all up into one place. There’d be enough plastic to fill 100 Boeing 747 planes! And the patch is only getting bigger. It’s been growing exponentially larger for nearly 70 years. Partly because once the plastic is there it’ll stick around for centuries. Those plastic fishing lines, for example, will take 600 years to break down. And even after they break down, the damage doesn’t stop there. Most end up as microplastics that are too small to see with the naked eye. But can make it into the bellies of sea animals and ultimately the humans that eat those animals. Worldwide, researchers have found ingested microplastics in, every species of sea turtle. Nearly 60% of whale species. And almost 60% of seabirds. Plus, more plastic is pouring into the world’s oceans each day. In fact, experts estimate that by the year 2050 the amount of plastic in the oceans will outweigh all the world’s fish. Think about that the next time you toss your water bottle in the trash because the recycling’s full.

An ingenious proposal for scaling up marine protection | The Nature Conservancy
Island and coastal nations need to protect their waters to keep the oceans healthy. But they often have lots of debt and aren't able to prioritize ocean conservation over other needs. The team at The Nature Conservancy sees a way to solve both problems at once: restructuring a nation's debt in exchange for its government's commitment to protect coastal areas. Learn more about how "Blue Bonds for Conservation" work -- and how you can help unlock billions of dollars for the oceans.
