Climate change is expected to have major impacts on the ocean, the species that live there, and the people who rely on it for their food and livelihood. Since the beginning of the 20th century, CO2 emissions from human activities have altered physical and chemical properties of the ocean. The ocean has become warmer and, in some areas, less oxygenated, which has caused changes in the productivity and distribution of marine species.
We know climate change is affecting the ocean now, but what changes will we see in the future?
