What do warmer waters mean for life below the waves?

The Ocean, it covers more than 70% of the surface if our planet,
it provides us with food, medicine and even influences the
weather.


For years its also helped to mitigate the effects of climate
change. Since the 1970’s over 90% of atmospheric warming caused
by green house gas emissions has been absorbed by our Oceans. But
this comes at a cost.


Overtime their temperatures have risen and this has had
disastrous impact on some of our most important ecosystems. Join
us on a dive into the world of warming waters to discover what
this means for life below the waves.
