Seagrasses Turn Back the Clock on Ocean Acidification. Expansive Study Shows Seagrass Meadows Can Buffer Ocean Acidification. Spanning six years and seven seagrass meadows along the California coast, a paper from the University of California, Davis, is the most extensive study yet of how seagrasses can buffer ocean acidification.

Hatcheries like the Carson National Fish Hatchery, pictured here, breed millions of salmon and let them grow until they are mature enough to be released so they can try to swim to the ocean. Nearly 250 million young salmon, most of them from hatcheries, head to the ocean each year — roughly three times as many as before any dams were built.
