Invasive species thrive as the Mediterranean Sea temperature hits record high.

Rising sea temperatures are fuelling the rapid “tropicalisation” of the Mediterranean, with venomous Red Sea species like lionfish disrupting ecosystems from Turkey to Malta, scientists warn.

Ocean life surged 500 million years ago due to cooler sea temperatures

A fall in sea surface temperatures around 500 million years ago led to the evolution of aquatic life that could survive in newly hospitable environments

There’s a heatwave in the sea and scientists are worried - "I am concerned as a climate scientist that we are further than we thought we are." #GlobalWarming #Ocean #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChange #SeaTemperatures https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230720-theres-a-heatwave-in-the-sea-and-scientists-are-worried

It's so hot, heatwaves are underwater

Could warmer ocean temperatures be a sign climate change has progressed further than we thought?

Marine heatwave off the British and Irish coasts poses a serious ecological threat. Some areas show sea surface temperatures 5 degrees above the seasonal norm. There are several natural contributors to this excess heat, but climate change appears to be the main driver.
