Scientists say warming waters reshuffling location of marine species

26.06.11

HALIFAX - Some marine species are migrating to oceans where they were once extinct because of warming temperatures and polar melt, according to scientists who say the shakeup poses risks to entire ecosystems.

Researchers said they have found evidence of various marine life forms relocating halfway around the world because of the disappearance of sea ice in the Arctic.

In 2007, Steiner’s organization began an ambitious campaign to place radio and satellite tags on sea turtles around Cocos Island. The ultimate goal is to understand where the turtles travel in their lifespan in order to get those areas protected from commercial longline fishing.
