Resumo em Inglês: Climate change is affecting nearly every aspect of our marine ecosystems, from the very water itself to every type of biodiversity; this impact will continue and magnify over the coming decades and centuries. Marine wildlife is degraded by fishing, bycatch, habitat destruction, pollution and invasive species. Climate change has been impacting our seas fordecades, but only recently have the effects been noticed. The dramatic changes underway due to climate change act in tandem with all the other pressures, and some exacerbate each other. Here we present the top issues in relation to climate change and marine ecosystems.
