Quote: "Officials are calling this summer's red tide along Florida's southwest coast the worst in decades. As dead fish pile up along the shores, that means fewer fish for charter boat captain Wayne Genthner, who relies on clean water for his tours. Genthner owns Wolfmouth Charters. Many of his clients are from Europe. 'They're not expecting catfish spines, dead tarpon and dead manatees. They come for something clean and fun, and the word about red tide is out,' he said."

2018-08-07 - Seabirds dying and moving closer to shore along the coast of Alaska:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=BH-20180809-64206-USA
http://www.ktva.com/story/38834604/seabird-deaths-have-scientists-on-high-alert

Quote: "Beginning in May, wildlife officials began receiving reports of dead and dying seabirds from the northern Bering and southern Chukchi seas, including in the vicinity of the Western Arctic National Parklands. National Park Service investigators found 100 carcasses in a 4-kilometer stretch of beach in late June, most of which were murres along the coast of the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. Although, investigators say other species were found there and in Cape Krusenstern National Monument. Scientists say the culprit is starvation-- but they don't know why. There has been no evidence of disease, and tests are pending to determine if birds were exposed to harmful algal toxins."

Quote: "The post says Northern Fulmars are appearing unhealthy, and the Common Murres are going closer to shore than usual. Off the coast of Katmai and Kenai Fjords National Parks, scientists are seeing the Fork-Tailed Storm Petrels unusually close to shore in large numbers. A July 8 report shows large numbers of the Storm Petrels feeding in abnormally shallow water. Two days later, a report showed the number of birds in the area was much less, and instead, there were carcasses."

2018-08-08 - Half the Great Barrier Reef has died off from hot ocean waters since 2016:
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/08/explore-atlas-great-barrier-reef-coral-bleaching-map-climate-change/
http://www.desdemonadespair.net/2018/08/national-geographic-half-of-great.html

Quote: "Half of the Great Barrier Reef has been bleached to death since 2016. Mass coral bleaching, a global problem triggered by climate change, occurs when unnaturally hot ocean water destroys a reef’s colorful algae, leaving the coral to starve. The Great Barrier Reef illustrates how extensive the damage can be: Thirty percent of the coral perished in 2016, another 20 percent in 2017. The effect is akin to a forest after a devastating fire. Much of the marine ecosystem along the reef’s north coast has become barren and skeletal with little hope of recovery."

2018-08-23 - Red tide continues wiping out sea life around Florida, state of emergency declared in seven counties:

Quote: "This season the toxic algae began in October 2017 and has since expanded by about 150 miles (240km) on Florida's west coast. The situation is so serious that Rick Scott, Florida's Governor, has declared a state of emergency due to impacts of the red tide in seven counties that include Collier, Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota, Manatee, Hillsborough and Pinellas."

2018-08-24 - Hydrogen sulfide kills off life, especially oceanic life, when too much CO2 enters the atmosphere:
http://science.sciencemag.org/content/361/6404/804

Quote: "Yao et al. report sulfur isotopic data from the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, an interval around 55 million years ago when atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and global temperatures were also high. They found widespread anoxia and resulting high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic to marine organisms. Similar effects could have severe negative effects on ocean ecosystems."

Quote: "Of particular interest is the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), where the carbon dioxide input into the atmosphere was similar to the IPCC RCP8.5 emission scenario. Here we present sulfur-isotope data that record a positive 1 per mil excursion during the PETM. Modeling suggests that large parts of the ocean must have become sulfidic. The toxicity of hydrogen sulfide will render two of the largest and least explored ecosystems on Earth, the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones, uninhabitable by multicellular organisms. This will affect many marine species whose ecozones stretch into the deep ocean."

Note: They're comparing the projections of the planet's atmosphere of today with what happened in the extinction event 55 million years ago. They should look even farther back in time, to what happened in the Permian-Triassic extinction event 252 million years ago. The Permian-Triassic extinction, sometimes called the 'Great Dying', was Earth's deadliest, killing off more life, by far, than any other extinction event. Anoxic conditions and hydrogen sulfide were widespread throughout the oceans in that extinction event as well. The IPCC's projections are preposterously conservative, which means that we won't merely be seeing an extinction event comparable to the one 55 million years ago (which would still be plenty bad enough to wipe out the human race) but one far worse than that, one comparable to the Permian-Triassic extinction event, or possibly even worse than that, because as we die off there will be several hundred nuclear reactors melting down too, which obviously wasn't a factor 252 million years ago…

2018-08-24 - Biggest colony of king penguins in the world dying off hard, on Pig Island in the southern Indian Ocean:
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=CC-20180825-64377-ATF
http://www.thebigwobble.org/2018/08/the-biggest-colony-of-king-penguins-on.html

Quote: "The biggest colony of king penguins on the planet has collapsed, with nearly 90 per cent of the population vanishing since the 1980s, ecologists said."

Quote: "Although nobody has set foot on the island since 1982, photographs taken from a helicopter during a recent flyover show that there could be just 60,000 breeding pairs left, and scientists fear the decline will continue. 'It is completely unexpected, and particularly significant since this colony represented nearly one third of the king penguins in the world,' said research leader Dr. Henri Weimers-kirch, an ecologist at the Centre for Biological Studies in Chize, France."

2018-09-28 - Sargassum seaweed problem that began in 2011 is intensifying, killing sea life and causing hydrogen sulfide releases across the Caribbean:
http://newrepublic.com/article/150775/humans-created-new-natural-disaster

Quote: "Problems with Sargassum only started to arise in 2011. Seemingly out of nowhere, the seaweed began to amass in huge quantities on 'beaches across the Caribbean, trapping sea turtles and filling the air with the stench of rotting egg,' according to a report in the journal Science. The foul odor stems from hydrogen sulfide, which the seaweed releases when it rots on land."

Quote: "Sargassum researchers do appear confident in two things, though. The first is that these algal blooms constitute a new type of natural disaster—one that, like hurricanes, can be expected every single year. The second is that this new risk is not entirely natural. Humans have made these blooms far more likely."

Note: Similar to the red tide and cyanobacteria blooms that have also been escalating in recent years around the world. Both the climate and the biosphere are changing rapidly now, and in ways that are detrimental to human survival…

2018-08-28 - Many whales washing ashore dead on the coasts of Ireland, Scotland and Iceland:
http://www.galwaydaily.com/news/mystery-mass-whale-deaths-hit-record-high/
http://www.thejournal.ie/record-number-of-dead-beaked-whales-washed-ashore-in-ireland-this-month-4203674-Aug2018/

Quote: "A record number of beaked whales washed up on Irish shores this month in a mystery mass whale death event that saw bodies strewn as far away as Iceland and Scotland. The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group reports that at least 16 Cuvier beaked whales were found on western coastlines between August 3 and August 22. Over the same period at least 13 of the whales washed ashore in Scotland, while two were found in Iceland. Five whales washed up in just one week earlier this month. IWDG Strandings Officer Mick O’Connell noted in a statement that 'nothing on this scale has been recorded for this species in Ireland before'. Research suggests that only a small number of dead animals actually wash ashore, so the death toll may be “significantly higher”, according to O’Connell."
