Greenhoues Gases Killing Sea Life

Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) are causing an increase of acidity in our oceans and scientists warn that this may pose a major threat to aquatic life.

Fifty percent of the carbon dioxide produced from burning fossil fuels gets absorbed by the ocean and reacts with water to form carbonic acid. This carbonic acid increases the overall acidity of ocean water. There has been a 30 percent increase in acidity in our oceans since the Industrial Revolution.

Islas Canarias Santa Pro Junior Underway

The Islas Canarias Santa Pro Junior got underway today and Caribbean native, William Aliotti, got off to a terrific start, leading the opening rounds in the first of two ASP events taking place in Europe over the summer. The event started at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in 2-3′ surf.

Blasting fin out turns on the zippy beachbreak, Aliotti didn’t waste a moment posting a 14.34 point heat score.

“These conditions usually suit me well and I was really looking for the vertical sections and pull some airs,” Aliotti said. “It’s my first time here, it’s pretty cool and I feel comfortable on that wave so hopefully I can get through some more heats in the next couple of days.”

The event runs August 4-8 so stay tuned…
