As the ocean temperature rises, many marine species are moving toward the north and south poles in search of cooler waters, thus rewriting the menus of seafood restaurants on the West Coast of Canada.

The said destruction from human-induced climate change is causing the ocean to develop amnesia-like or loss of memory due to oceanic changes.

Ocean memory decline is found as a collective response across the climate models to human-induced warming. As greenhouse-gas concentrations continue to rise, such memory decline will become increasingly evident

Researchers found landslides can slow the glacier melting process and increase glacier size. Landslides have often been associated with natural disasters, a form of a natural catastrophe caused by flooding, excessive rainfall, meteorological, or geological factors.

Corals depend on algae to survive in an era when the world’s marine habitat is being endangered by worsening climatic conditions.

Researchers have warned that if human-led emissions continue unchecked, the marine world will face mass extinction by 2100.

An unprecedented loss of marine biodiversity since the extinction of the dinosaurs is possible. Marine life as we know it will undergo mass extinction in the next few centuries if greenhouse gas emissions continue.

The experts also said urgent action is required to prevent coral reefs from being extinct. Environmental scientists highlighted that coral reefs may soon disappear within the next three decades if no concrete actions are taken.

A range of considerable suggestions to safeguard, preserve, and study the world’s coral reefs–called the “canaries in the coal mine” of climate change—has been reported by an international group of environmental scientists.

Sharks, whales, and other large predators are at risk of being left behind as their prey may likely migrate to new regions of the oceans.
