  2. Human impact on marine life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_impact_on_marine_life

    Human activities affect marine life and marine habitats through overfishing, habitat loss, the introduction of invasive species, ocean pollution, ocean acidification and ocean warming. These impact marine ecosystems and food webs and may result in consequences as yet unrecognised for the biodiversity and continuation of marine life forms.

  3. Extinction risk from climate change - Wikipedia

    It found that if their water temperature increases by 4 °C (7.2 °F) in July (said to occur under approximately the same amount of global warming), then cold-water fish species like cisco would disappear from 167 lakes, which represents 61% of their habitat in Minnesota. Cool-water yellow perch would see its numbers decline by about 7% across ...

  4. Habitat destruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_destruction

    In areas where the habitat is relatively undisturbed, halting further habitat destruction may be enough. [3] In areas where habitat destruction is more extreme (fragmentation or patch loss), restoration ecology may be needed. [60] Education of the general public is possibly the best way to prevent further human habitat destruction. [61]

    The phrase #SuitUpToCleanUp was a way for people to share their stories of how they helped clean up in unique ways. The Clean Oceans Initiative declared its intention to increase its financing aim to €4 billion by the end of 2025 during the One Ocean Conference in February 2022, at which the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ...

  6. Effects of climate change on oceans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change...

    Fisheries are affected by climate change in many ways: marine aquatic ecosystems are being affected by rising ocean temperatures, [100] ocean acidification [101] and ocean deoxygenation, while freshwater ecosystems are being impacted by changes in water temperature, water flow, and fish habitat loss. [102]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_and_fisheries

    Fisheries are affected by climate change in many ways: marine aquatic ecosystems are being affected by rising ocean temperatures, [2] ocean acidification [3] and ocean deoxygenation, while freshwater ecosystems are being impacted by changes in water temperature, water flow, and fish habitat loss. [4] These effects vary in the context of each ...

  8. Environmental issues with coral reefs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_issues_with...

    The rise in water temperature leads to an increase in oxygen demand and the increase for ocean deoxygenation which causes these large coral reef dead zones. For many coral reefs , the response to this hypoxia is very dependent on the magnitude and duration of the deoxygenation.
