Global warming is triggering a silent crisis by increasing ocean temperatures. This situation threatens marine ecosystems and requires urgent measures to combat climate change.

Marine heatwaves are causing ocean temperatures to reach unusually high levels. For instance, this summer, record sea temperatures were recorded in Portugal. This situation directly affects marine life such as phytoplankton and disrupts the carbon cycle.

Dr. Mariana Bif from the University of Miami states that the increase in sea temperatures raises the risk of carbon returning to the atmosphere instead of being transported to the deep sea. This weakens the oceans' capacity to absorb carbon dioxide.

Moreover, the warming of the seas has been shown to affect terrestrial climates, intensifying extreme weather events. Therefore, it is emphasized that the oceans need to be monitored more comprehensively.

The changes caused by global warming in the oceans threaten the habitats of marine life. Especially the migration of warm-water species leads to a decline in native species.

In conclusion, there is a critical need for more measures to combat climate change and protect the oceans. This is crucial for both marine ecosystems and human health.
