Global report tracks ocean changes
The tenth Ocean State Report issued by the European Union’s Copernicus Observatory states that ocean temperatures have been increasing at an accelerating rate since 1960. The average sea level has risen from 3.8 millimeters annually during 1999-2025 to 4.2 millimeters between 2012 and 2025, putting pressure on coastal areas and infrastructure. It also notes a decline in Arctic ice extent by 490,000 square kilometers per decade between 1979 and 2025, as well as changes in ocean chemistry—specifically, a 17% increase in acidity since 1985. Additionally, record-breaking marine heatwaves were recorded in 2024. The report emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring and data analysis to better adapt to these global environmental changes.
