Life in the Arctic includes organisms living in the ice, zooplankton and phytoplankton, fish and marine mammals, birds,

Lobsters belong to a class of marine animals.

pinch a minnow, hurt a whale.

So stay tuned for further information.

So it could have a negative impact on the whole population.

(Laughter)

We'll look at ocean warming.

It provides a surface for things in the ocean, and this surface, which is covered by seaweeds and other organisms in the ocean, will become enhanced marine habitat so it increases biodiversity.

We made a chip that has every known virus ever discovered on it.

And there are a lot of other pressures.

And we're letting industry run the show.

Well, I could stand here for hours, but, of course, I'm not allowed to do that.

We're only just beginning to understand how the physical oceanography and the biological oceanography come together to create a seasonal force that actually causes the upwelling that might make a hot spot a hope spot.

I've taken them camping in the kelp forests of California.

Algae. It infected marine life.

But it's an animal that's about 98 percent in decline throughout most of its range.

Keep that in mind.

Dr. Satoshi Takada. Marine biologist. Lieutenant Commander for the Navy since 1997.

I've been working on ocean pollution for quite a long time the impacts on marine life and particularly the impacts on marine mammals.

It's a project that now reaches across three continents, and its roots go into the fields of mathematics, marine biology, feminine handicraft and environmental activism.

We can also use satellite tags to track animals as they move through the oceans.

So many reactions involving enzymes and proteins are sensitive to the acid content of the ocean.

A strange marine creature was found recently.

We have really no idea.

We'll look at sea level rise.

And that's why biodiversity data can be so valuable.

If you're in IT, India, obviously, is the place to be at the moment.

She studies marine biology.

For as long as I can remember,

What this means is that if you could shrink the Earth to the size of a billiard ball, if you could take planet Earth, with all its mountain tops and caves and rainforests, astronauts and uncontacted tribes and chimpanzees, voodoo dolls, fireflies, chocolate, sea creatures making love in the deep blue sea, you just shrink that to the size of a billiard ball, it would be as smooth as a billiard ball, presumably a billiard ball with a slight bulge around the middle.

An accretion itself is a huge sink of carbon dioxide.

And as it does so, it makes the ocean more acidic.

Now, what good are springy legs then? What can they do?

Now, not so much. (Laughter)

So one of the things we discovered is where are the hot spots of diversity?

The equalization of the oceanic

So barcoding allows us to know what we're working with and also what we're eating.

And the list of scientific applications is growing every day.

like black carbon, that is soot.

Well, there's also another program, in another agency within our government, in ocean exploration.

I wound up studying sea birds to try to stay in the coastal habitats that I so loved.

And on coral reefs, where some of the main framework organisms disappear, we will see a major loss of marine biodiversity.

So, Charlie Veron came up with this statement last year

I study it because I think understanding it is critical to understanding life in the ocean where most bioluminescence occurs.
