"You may have heard reports of fish die-offs or seen photos of hauntingly
bleached coral.
Those are just two signs a marine heatwave has swept through the sea.
Marine heatwaves happen when the ocean remains abnormally hot for an extended
period. While they may be invisible from the shore, their impacts can wreak
havoc underwater – killing various kinds of coral, seagrass and fish.
As climate change continues to warm the ocean, marine heatwaves will only
become more frequent and severe. While we cannot stop these marine disasters
happening, we can work to better understand them and reduce their impacts on
vulnerable ocean ecosystems."
