Detailed explanation-1: -Warmer waters cause coral bleaching, which in turn impacts coral reef ecosystems that are home to a dizzying array of marine biodiversity-and provide crucial sources of food for people. Warmer waters threaten to cause mass migration of marine species in search of the right conditions for feeding and spawning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rising temperatures increase the risk of irreversible loss of marine and coastal ecosystems. Today, widespread changes have been observed, including damage to coral reefs and mangroves that support ocean life, and migration of species to higher latitudes and altitudes where the water could be cooler.
Detailed explanation-3: -Did You Know? More than 80% of earth’s marine life is migrating to different places and changing their breeding and feeding patterns due to warming waters. Ocean species are migrating in response to a changing climate 10 times faster than land species.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mobile species, such as fish, may respond to climate change by moving to more favorable regions, with populations shifting poleward or to deeper water, to find their preferred range of water temperatures or oxygen levels.
