Istanbul (Turkey), Jun 4 (EFE) .- (Camera: Erdem Sahin / Ilya U. Topper) A thick layer of foam and marine mucilage these days covers large parts of the coast of Istanbul and the Sea of Marmara. Due to global warming, this phenomenon, which can have serious consequences for marine life, threatens to become annual, scientists warn.FOOTAGE OF THE INFESTATIONSOUNDBITES FROM AHMET KAHRAMAN, PRESIDENT OF THE TURKEY COLLEGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERSTranslation1.- "The fecal waters that we produce provide nutrients, perhaps global warming can make it seasonal, by accelerating it and creating more favorable conditions. Today and tomorrow, we may continue to see mucilage, it can become something seasonal. Once we have started to see it, we will probably see it again next year, and next year as well and next year. And each year it will be a little broader. In the long term we have to control the sources of pollution. [Silence ] The tributaries must be protected, the tributaries must be protected. Technically, there are methods to intervene but they are not proven. It is necessary to observe. There are enzymes, but how to intervene with enzymes in a huge sea? Perhaps it can be done locally, on time, to cleaning, but this does not end this natural phenomenon. "
Scientists have discovered the largest species that has the ability to regrow limbs. According to Business Insider, it's the alligator. Like lizards, young American gators can regrow their tails up to 9 inches. Prof. Kenro Kusumi is a co-senior study author and the director of Arizona State University's School of Life Sciences. Kusumi began studying gator regrowth after receiving a package in the mail that contained a deformed alligator tail in a pickle jar with ethanol. The tail was discolored, forked, and the scales were smaller than normal. Kusumi realized that the tail looked like it had been regrown.
Marine life uses sound to hunt, avoid predators, and find mates. But if their sounds are drowned out by engines, species can be affected dramatically. Even as the oceans are getting noisier, we're still basically unaware of the full toll it takes on ocean life. Gizmodo reports decreased human activity has given researchers an unprecedented chance to study the effect of quiet on our typically noisy seas. Wildlife biologist Chris Gabriele says the waters around Glacier Bay, Alaska, have seen median daily sound levels decrease by 50% between 2019 and 2020. As a result, she’s seen humpback whales hanging out in much broader swaths of the region, socializing, feeding, napping, and 'chatting' with each other.

Animal rescuer Richard Tesore became a mother to two orphaned seal cubs stranded on the Uruguay’s east coast after a heavy storm, when he saved the pups from certain death. Founder of the non-governmental organisation SOS Rescue of Marine Fauna, which helps animals in danger, Richard Tesore is no stranger to helping animals in dire need. His center provided emergency food and treatment, which saved the lives of the two seals, and is now helping them gain strength.
