The Sargasso Sea has become warmer and saltier, and the loss of oxygen and ocean acidification is accelerating
The subtropical oceans are getting warmer and saltier, losing oxygen, and gaining carbon dioxide, and in the recent decade, these changes have accelerated.

A new report, written to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), outlines a framework for a national ocean acidification monitoring strategy for the United Kingdom. The report was submitted by the Defra Science Advisory Council Ocean Acidification sub group, of which BIOS scientist Nicolas Bates is a member.

In a unique collaboration researchers from around the globe have studied data from seven time-series and found that despite the varying geographic locations, each of the time-series sites exhibited similar changes in ocean chemistry due to anthropogenic CO2, confirming what many scientists have believed for years: ocean acidification is indeed changing ocean chemistry
