Ocean Monitoring Indicators

Ocean Monitoring Indicators are specific measurements used to assess the health and condition of our oceans. They include data on water temperature, acidity (pH), levels of oxygen, and the presence of pollutants or nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. These indicators help scientists track changes over time, such as warming temperatures, pollution levels, or declines in marine life. By monitoring these factors, we can better understand how human activities and climate change affect ocean ecosystems, guiding efforts to protect and sustainably manage our marine environments.
