NASA Satellite Sees Ocean Plants Increase, Coasts Greening
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Mar 04, 2005A few years ago, NASA researcher Watson Gregg published a study showing that tiny free-floating ocean plants called phytoplankton had declined in abundance globally by 6 percent between the 1980s and 1990s. A new study by Gregg and his co-authors suggests that trend may not be continuing, and new patterns are taking place. Airlines Face Cuts In Ozone Gases
