Climate Change Intensifies Ocean Upwellings, Threatening Marine Life

Research indicates that climate-driven cold snaps are becoming more frequent and intense, posing significant risks to marine species.

A recent study highlights increasing frequency and intensity of ocean upwellings due to climate change, leading to mass die-offs of marine life.
Extreme cold events, driven by shifts in ocean currents and atmospheric pressures, are causing sudden drops in sea temperatures.
Marine species such as bull sharks and manta rays are particularly vulnerable to these cold snaps, which can lead to large-scale mortalities.
Researchers emphasize the need for enhanced marine conservation efforts to protect species from these increasingly common cold events.
The study, published in Nature Climate Change, calls for urgent action to address the complexities of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems.
