Featuring renowned explorer Sylvia Earle and other ocean experts, the hearing discussed how carbon dioxide emissions and the effects from global warming are harming the earth's coral reefs, increasing the acidity and sea-levels of oceans across the globe, and putting fish stocks at risk during an already burgeoning food crisis. Witnesses: * Sylvia Earle, Explorer-in-Residence, National Geographic Society; * Dr. Vikki Spruill, President and CEO of The Ocean Conservancy; * Dr. Jane Lubchenco, Department of Zoology, Oregon State University; * Dr. Joan Kleypas, National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado.
