Understanding Climate Change Impact on Marine Life

Understanding climate change’s impact on marine life involves recognizing how rising global temperatures and increased carbon dioxide levels are altering ocean conditions. Warmer waters disrupt marine ecosystems, affecting species' habitats, breeding, and migration patterns. Ocean acidification, caused by absorbing excess CO₂, weakens shells and skeletons of marine organisms like corals and mollusks. These changes threaten biodiversity, fisheries, and the health of the entire ocean food chain. By studying these impacts, scientists can better predict future effects and develop strategies to protect marine ecosystems and ensure their resilience amidst a changing climate.
