C documented in Plymouth Sound compared to the typical June average of 13And the situation is only going to get worse, scientists warned. “The frequency, duration and severity of marine heatwaves are predicted to increase over the next century,” said Dr Collins.
Dr Collins added: “These heatwaves have the potential to disrupt marine life from individual animals to whole ecosystems, as well as the important services that they provide such as fisheries and aquaculture.” Meanwhile, for highly mobile species, such as some fish, we could see mass migrations from warmer to cooler areas – a process that is already under way.
“Plant-dominated ecosystems such as kelp forests and seagrass beds will struggle under increased sea temperatures, shellfish reefs will be subject to stress-related disease and decline meaning that the water treatment and carbon capture benefits we currently enjoy will be diminished at a time when we need them most.
Why have the oceans absorbed most of the heat from global warming yet have warmed up less than the air?
