Sea life in Mass Extinction Threshold

BEIJING - MICOM: Global warming, catching fish in bulk and also a variety of man-made, more and make life at sea headed to the brink of extinction that has neverhappened previously.

The predictions made ​​by leading scientists who discussed together at Oxford Universityin the International Programme on the State of the Ocean (ipso). A total of 27 marine experts expressed life in the oceans of the world today slumped away from earlierpredictions.

"Now, we are facing the loss of species and marine ecosystems as a whole. Like thecoral reefs will be extinct within a generation," said Alex Rogers ipso Scientific Director.

In this study also noted, that people have time to avoid extinction is almost gone,especially the extinction of coral reefs that will cause low oxygen in the ocean or the spread of so-called dead zones.

Given this research, it is hoped the various parties can take immediate concrete action.Extinction of marine ecosystems will bersiko high against the survival of life.

The scientists reported that there were five mass extinction that occurred 600 millionyears ago. Among these, species of dinosaur extinction due to asteroid impacts on Earth. This can be repeated extinction of marine ecosystems in the world. "This discovery is very surprising, there must be decisive action to prevent it," Alex closed.
