Urgent Alert: Developments in the Southern Ocean
Under the influence of an unprecedented marine heatwave since February, the Southern Ocean has experienced a significant decline in whale populations and the appearance of rare birds in states of exhaustion. Rising temperatures are affecting ecosystems even in polar regions. Studies indicate that a one-degree increase in temperature can substantially disrupt the balance of marine systems, threatening the food supply for seabirds and whales, amidst knowledge gaps due to limited monitoring. Scientists warn that continued heatwaves may lead to more significant cumulative effects on the marine environment.
