    23/11/2004 -- Sardines munch away at global warming - [Cached Version]
    Published on: 11/23/2004    Last Visited: 12/9/2004  

    The researchers, Dr. Andrew Bakun from the University of Miami and Dr. Scarla J. Weeks of the University of Cape Town, devised their plankton-sardine-methane theory while working off Namibia, where once-abundant sardine populations have been devastated since the 1970s by heavy fishing.
    ...
    Though some researchers are skeptical about linking sardines to global warming, others think that Bakun and Weeks are onto something.

    Pew Institue for Ocean Science Research Associate, Dr. Scarla J. Weeks, is using satellite imagery to delve into the processes involved in coral bleaching and associated deleterious effects on the Great Barrier Reef marine ecosystem. Weeks is co-principal investigator for the Pew Institute for Ocean Science "Adverse Eco-Feedbacks" project, which focuses on elaborating the internal mechanisms acting within marine ecosystems to determine the nature of the responses (e.g., resilience or abrupt degradation, etc.) to fishing, climate change, and other stresses. A current focus of the project is a comparative study of the western tropical Atlantic and Pacific regions. Such a comparative approach offers a means to sort out processes and influences that may be very difficult to unravel in any single regional ecosystem viewed in isolation. The serious 2006 coral bleaching episode occurring in the Great Barrier Reef offers an acute case in point, and consequently is a major focus of current activity within the project.

    Through some hard-core detective work and astute observations, Dr. Bakun and his colleague, Dr. Scarla Weeks of the University of Cape Town in South Africa, realized that the rampant overfishing of sardines off the southwest coast of Africa may have been a factor in eruptions of two toxic gases - hydrogen sulfide, and methane - from the Atlantic Ocean floor.
    ...
    Drs. Bakun and Weeks co-authored a 2004 scientific paper in the peer-reviewed journal Ecology Letters describing their theory that sardines, phytoplankton, and climate change are intricately connected.
    ...
    Dr. Weeks, now at the University of Queensland in Australia, is also currently funded in a Pew Institute research project.
