		<description><![CDATA[Fishsubsidy.org has published a list of law-breaking fishing vessels from Spain, France, Belgium and the UK who have all received EU subsidies. Between them, the 41 boats have received 16,360,770 Euros in subsidies. The data has been collected manually from government websites, press reports and court records: it is therefore likely to be an under-estimate.

		<description><![CDATA[The barnacle, a key thread in the marine food web, was thought to be missing along rocky coasts dominated by upwellings. Now a research team headed by Brown University marine ecologist Jon Witman has found the opposite to be true: Barnacle populations thrive in vertical upwelling zones in moderately deep waters in the Galapagos Islands.

Ten years ago graduate students Octavio Aburto-Oropeza and Gustavo Paredes surveyed the marine life of the Sea of Cortez (also known as the Gulf of California). In 2009 they went back and were shocked at how things had declined. Sixty percent of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Researchers from Florida State University have found that Red Grouper (Epinephelus morio) dig out and maintain complex structures at the bottom of the sea. They remove sand, exposing hard rocks that are crucial to corals and sponges and the animals that rely on them. The work demonstrates that Red Groupers modify their environment, much as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This common species &#8211; Cerianthus lloydii &#8211; is not a true anemone but a tube anemone. Instead of attaching itself to a rock it lives in a soft felt-like tube protruding above sand or mud. The anemone&#8217;s tentacles are usually all that is visible. The inner set circle the mouth and are short and stiff. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new genetic analysis of Antarctic minke whales concludes that population of these smaller baleen whales have not increased as a result of the intensive hunting of other larger whales – countering arguments by advocates of commercial whaling who want to “cull” minke whales.
Antarctic minke whales are among the few species of baleen whales not [...]]]></description>

It is also reducing the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide and regulate climate.  According to IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), deep and immediate cuts in emissions are needed to stall the acidification [...]]]></description>
