Major New Force Causing Marine Extinctions
- "Extinctions happen in the ocean; the fossil record shows that marine species have disappeared since life began in the sea," said Elliott A. Norse, head of the Marine Conservation Biology Institute in Redmond, Wash. "The question is, are humans a major new force causing marine extinctions? The evidence, and projections scientists are making, suggest that the answer is yes." - excerpt from the Washington Post article, free registration required, at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/22/AR2005082200036.html?sub=AR
