Damming of the Colorado River over the last century, alongside introduction of game fish species, has led to an extensive decline in numbers of native fish whilst introduced species have flourished. Scientists have found that physical changes which occur to a river when it is dammed have had an adverse effect only on native fish, due to differences in their life histories. Armed with this knowledge,...

So we know many fish species are in trouble due to over-fishing. Heavy production of corn in the American Midwest is killing off life at the mouth of the Mississippi River. Poor farming methods lead to desication and soil erosion. Some areas of tropical rainforest are being felled to grow soybeans or cattle. And those cattle, along with other livestock, produce organic pollution and methane that is...

There may not be too many fish in the sea, to paraphrase the old song, but there are certainly a lot. Scientists don't have a good idea of just how many fish--or crustacean, sponge, squid, plankton, and even mammal--species there are in the ocean, but they estimate as many as one million. The Census of Marine Life aims to record as much of that as possible by 2010, cleaning up the species registers...
