The global temperatures continue to rise, the world’s oceans are bearing the brunt of climate change.
It is reported that there’s serious consequences for marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
In Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape Province, SA, researchers at the Nelson Mandela University are warning that ocean warming, acidification, and shifting fish populations are not only threatening biodiversity, but also livelihoods and food security along SA’s coastline.
Climate change brings along a host of pressures that negatively affect our oceans.
It is best understood as ocean warming and sea level rising but many factors are also at play.
With the climate change causing chaos on sea life, it also poses a threat to human health as well.
