Comment from the contributor:
From Chicago Tribune:Fish poop could be the answer. A new article published in Science shows there is a direct link between fishing and climate change. The less fish, the less fish poop, which has been found to save the ocean by locking up carbon. Something to think about, every fish that isn't fished stay in the ocean, doing its job by taking part to save this world.
“ The ocean's delicate acid balance may be getting help from an unexpected source, fish poop. The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere not only drives global warming, but also raises the amount of CO2 dissolved in ocean water, tending to make it more acid, potentially a threat to sea life. ”
