Going up? For now, endangered salmon populations on the White River can't go anywhere, but officials from the NOAA are telling the Army Corps of Engineers that river dam operations in the Washington state region must be improved to accommodate for the struggling fish.
NOAA global climate data has revealed that this past summer was likely the hottest the Earth has experienced in more than 130 years. Interestingly, a great many regions are also reporting at least one record cold temperature during this season, showing just how complicated climate change is.
Thousands of fishing traps are lost or abandoned each year in the United States, and this type of "ghost fishing" is posing a real problem for marine life, according to a new NOAA-led study.
The NOAA has officially recognized 20 different types of coral as threatened species, enabling new action to be taken to ensure the preservation of their dwindling habitats in the wake of climate change and human influence.
Soon the diminishing Pacific bluefin tuna population may be thrown a lifeline. The NOAA Fisheries Service is considering enacting a ban on both recreational and commercial fishing of the species in an effort to save it.
State and federal wildlife officials announced earlier this week that they have a plan to facilitate a return of the king - the Chinook salmon - to California waters, despite permanent damages to river-runs inflicted by the building of several massive dams.
Global temperatures seen in June were the hottest on record, according to a NOAA report, with the global land and ocean surface reaching 33.3 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average of 59.9 degrees.
In the decade since Pudget Sound's orca whales were protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), scientists behind a NOAA-led study reported Wednesday that these animals are still struggling to recover.
