Since October 1988, scientists have been sampling the deep ocean waters of the Sargasso Sea as part of the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) project, with 2013 marking the program’s 25th year of continuous operation by BIOS
Read MoreIs Copper to Blame for Fish Declines in San Francisco Bay?
Residents of the San Francisco Bay region have long suspected that its waters might be contaminated with copper, particularly when the native fish populations in the north bay began declining two decades ago. Dr. Kristen Buck, Assistant Scientist at BIOS, studies the water in the San Francisco Bay delta. Her results, although preliminary, just might surprise you
