    • Abstract:
      The article discusses developments in marine life as of March 2017, particularly the re-emergence of the plankton specie called Neodenticula seminae in the North Atlantic region. Also cited are research showing a decline in the levels of dissolved oxygen in water due to climate change, the claims by scientists that the rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will drive plankton growth, and the work of ecology researcher William Chivers on the issue.
