Scientists estimate that more than 90% of the excess heat produced by human activities has been taken up by the ocean. That’s having a big impact on coastal economies, as researcher Charles Colgan breaks down in an explainer piece in The Conversation.
The California coast extends across 1,200 miles (3,000 miles depending on what is counted). There have been extensive investments in understanding the physical and biological dimensions of the coast. There are numerous world-class ocean science institutions in California furthering understanding of those dimensions. However, there has been little effort to understand one of the key components of the marine ecosystem: human use.
The Center for the Blue Economy will develop a baseline assessment of the ocean economies of Kenya and Tanzania, which can be used as a foundation for developing blue economy strategies in each country.
The Center for the Blue Economy is committed to providing free, open-access data. Now regional managers along the Mid-Atlantic coast have a new tool: the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Vulnerability Data Portal.
