/PRNewswire/ The CMA CGM Group, a world leader in shipping and logistics, is partnering with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF), the largest independent.
A recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that 70 to 90% of warm water coral reefs that exist today will have disappeared by the time we reach 1.5C. At 2C, coral reefs will be vanishingly rare.
The sobering reality reported by the World Meteorological Organization is that on our current path, we are heading to global warming of over 3C before the end of this century.
This would cause irreversible damage to marine ecosystems and the ocean as a whole. Science and recent experience tell us the consequences would be catastrophic globally â this is clearly something we must avoid at all costs.
The CMA CGM Group, a world leader in shipping and logistics, and the Parc national des Calanques (Calanques National Park), have announced a large-scale, multi-year partnership that aims to protect and showcase the spectacular heritage of the Calanques. Located between Marseille, Cassis and La Ciotat, these rocky inlets are not just stunningly beautiful, they are .
World Earth Day: CMA CGM committed to the protection of the environment
To mark the 51st World Earth Day and the start of the Leaders Summit on Climate convened by U.S. President Joe Biden, the CMA CGM Group, a world leader in shipping and logistics, is reiterating its commitment to protecting the planet. The CMA CGM Group has always considered its business performance as intrinsically linked to its social and environmental performance. In the firm belief that it needs to go above and beyond the target set by the IMO of halving overall CO2 emissions by 2050, the Group has undertaken to become carbon-neutral by 2050.
CRISPR/Cas9 System Could Support Efforts to Conserve Fragile Reef Ecosystems

Researchers can now use the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system to gain insights into, and perhaps enhance, the response of corals to the environmental stresses caused by climate change.

Led by Phillip Cleves who joined Carnegie’s Department of Embryology this fall the study describes how the groundbreaking, Nobel Prize-winning technology can be used to steer conservation efforts aimed at vulnerable reef ecosystems.
The findings of the research team headed by Cleves were published recently in two papers in the
