Abstract

Ocean warming is profoundly altering marine ecosystems, impacting biodiversity, fisheries, and climate regulation. This research highlights the accelerating heat absorption by oceans, with implications for sea-level rise, extreme weather, and species distribution. Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and intensity, damaging vital habitats and necessitating climate mitigation. Ocean stratification is intensifying, affecting nutrient and oxygen levels and marine food webs. Ocean acidification, linked to warming, threatens calcifying organisms. Thermal expansion contributes to sea-level rise. Poleward species shifts and expanding oxygen minimum zones are observed. Coral bleaching events are intensifying, and polar ecosystems face significant changes. The ocean’s role in moderating climate change is crucial but carries long-term consequences for marine systems.
