Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may have up to twice the impact on coastal estuaries as it does in the oceans because the human-caused CO2 lowers the ecosystem’s ability to absorb natural fluctuations of the greenhouse gas, a new study suggests. https://t.co/XQkhl7ETYj

Ocean conditions off the Pacific Northwest seem to be returning to normal after a three-year spike in water temperature--aka "the Blob." This is promising long-term news for fishermen who are anticipating low salmon returns again in the short term. https://t.co/2XaFD2OzSv
