World Ocean Day

World Ocean Day - This years theme: "Helping our climate/Helping our oceans" with special focus on coral reefs.

How is climate change affecting the ocean?

The ocean and climate are inextricably linked - the ocean plays a crucial role in maintaining the Earth's climate and ocean life is vulnerable to climate change. As human activities produce too much carbon dioxide, much of it is absorbed by the ocean and, as a result, ocean waters are becoming warmer and becoming more acidic, threatening the fundamental building blocks of life in the ocean. The ocean is also rising, sea ice melting, and deep sea currents possibly changing with serious ramifications for coastal communities around our planet.
