The world’s oceans have the potential to be significantly more plentiful even in the face of climate change, according to a study in Science Advances.

Study co-authored by EDF shows, for the first time, that a management system which provides year-round fishing opportunities using secure allocations could result in as much as $1 billion per year in additional economic benefits in the United States.

New study including EDF scientists of Europe's largest gas field reveals higher emissions than official estimates indicate, but those emissions are lower than those in North America.

Considerable amounts of the greenhouse gas methane leak from the U.S. oil and natural gas supply chain. Alvarez et al. reassessed the magnitude of this leakage and found that in 2015, supply chain emissions were ∼60% higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency inventory estimate. They suggest that this discrepancy exists because current inventory methods miss emissions that occur during abnormal operating conditions. These data, and the methodology used to obtain them, could improve and verify international inventories of greenhouse gases and provide a better understanding of mitigation efforts outlined by the Paris Agreement.
