A rise in global sea level occurs due to the warming of the ocean and the addition of fresh water into the ocean basins from melting ice on land. Local sea level, known as relative sea level change, is affected by global sea level fluctuations, changes in land elevation, winds, and ocean circulation. https://oceantoday.noaa.gov/globalvslocalsealevel/otkn_709_globalvlocalsealevel_sm.mp4 158 2015-01-21 Global Local Sea level Ocean Today Ocean no https://oceantoday.noaa.gov/ghostshipsoffgoldengate/ https://oceantoday.noaa.gov/ghostshipsoffgoldengate/otkn_805_ghostshipsoffgoldengate_thumb.jpg Ghost Ships off the Golden Gate In the waters off San Francisco Bay… in the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary… lie hundreds of mysteries.

Hundreds of miles from land, way out in the ocean, is a third, discrete group of Orcas. These Orcas stay near the continental shelf and are called offshore Orcas.

The whale populations are coming back, but they were severely depleted, and so there's a lot of work to be done to make sure we can stabilize those populations. One of the big concerns in the future is as we have climate change, the ice edge is going to be retreating and we really don't understand how that's affecting the marine populations.

I found that by monitoring the sound, it's a very efficient was of finding where the animals are and then also making some sort of relative assessment of how many animals there are. When we track the number of calls in each area, it helps us to estimate the number of animals that are present. We do this because we want to conserve these populations.

Fifty years ago, when I began exploring the ocean, no one -- not Jacques Perrin, not Jacques Cousteau or Rachel Carson -- imagined that we could do anything to harm the ocean by what we put into it or by what we took out of it. It seemed, at that time, to be a sea of Eden, but now we know, and now we are facing paradise lost. I want to share with you my personal view of changes in the sea that affect all of us and to consider why it matters that in 50 years we've lost -- actually, we've taken, we've eaten -- more than 90 percent of the big fish in the sea, why you should care that nearly half of the coral reefs have disappeared, why a mysterious depletion of oxygen in large areas of the Pacific should concern not only the creatures that are dying but it really should concern you. It does concern you, as well. https://oceantoday.noaa.gov/sylviaearle/otkx_270_sylviaearle_sm.mp4 209 2011-08-05 Sylvia Earle TED Winner Environmental Speech Ocean no https://oceantoday.noaa.gov/studentssaveocean/ https://oceantoday.noaa.gov/studentssaveocean/otkx_360_studentssavingtheocean_120x68.jpg Students Saving the Ocean This is Hermit's Cove and we are here at Coastal Cleanup Day, which is once a year.
