Climate Change Threatens Mediterranean Fisheries With 41% Drop in River Flow

Breaking News, Climate Actions, Environment

A new study by European scientists warns that freshwater flowing through rivers into the Mediterranean Sea could decline by as much as 41% due to climate change. The research, published on February 3, 2025, outlines a worst-case scenario in which global temperatures rise by 4°C above pre-industrial levels, drastically altering coastal ecosystems and threatening the region’s fisheries. The decrease in river flow would reduce freshwater and nutrient inputs, leading to lower primary productivity in the Mediterranean’s marine ecosystem. This would have cascading effects on the food chain, ultimately impacting commercially valuable seafood species. "The results show that 41% less river flow could slash marine productivity by 10% and fish biomass by 6% in the Mediterranean, leading to annu...

Ganga Rivers has Likely Altered their Course due to the mega earthquake occured in 2,500 Years Ago: New Study Reveals

Breaking News, Disasters, Environment, Idea & Innovations

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have revealed that an earthquake approximately 2,500 years ago may have caused the Ganga River to abruptly change its course. This seismic event, which was previously undocumented, is believed to have been of a magnitude 7-8 and could have significantly altered the landscape of present-day Bangladesh. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, suggests that the earthquake was powerful enough to reroute the main channel of the Ganga, one of the most significant rivers in the world. The Ganga, which originates in the Himalayas, eventually merges with other major rivers, including the Brahmaputra and the Meghna, before flowing into the Bay of Bengal. This river system forms the world’s second-largest delta, surpassed only by the Am...

Why people should never take Pebbles from Coastal Beach or side space form Rivers: Scientist suggest with scientific reasoning

Breaking News, Climate Actions, Idea & Innovations

Cumberland Council in northern England has announced new measures to protect its beaches, imposing fines of up to £1,000 on individuals caught removing pebbles. This decision, while frustrating to some beachgoers, is essential for preventing coastal erosion and maintaining natural habitats, as research has shown. For many, visiting the beach evokes joyful childhood memories, where collecting pebbles as souvenirs seemed harmless. However, these pebbles play a critical role in providing habitats for various creatures and offering natural protection for homes and infrastructure from the sea. While many might have taken the odd pebble or even bags of them for garden rockeries, the removal of beach materials is illegal in the UK. This law, established under the 1949 Coastal Protection Act...
