Rather than being a paradise on earth for believers in his utopia, the land he purchased has become a refuge . . . → Read More: Preserving Paradise: SDSU is the steward of one of Southern California’s last wild places Researchers are using seagrass from Newport Beach and other locations across the state to see if the salt-water flowering plant can fight ocean acidity, which they say could possibly curb the effects of climate change. Ocean acidification is a global problem that occurs when seawater takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making it difficult . . . → Read More: Can eelgrass in Newport Beach help fight acidity in the ocean? California researchers want to find out just how much the oft-maligned underwater plant known as eelgrass can help buffer the impact of ocean acidification on sensitive aquatic species… http://www.scpr.org/news/2017/08/31/75184/can-eelgrass-save-our-oysters-from-ocean-acidifica/
