Marine Heat Waves Increasing in Duration, Frequency, and Temperature

"We know heatwaves over land have been increasing, but now new research reveals globally marine heatwaves have also been increasing in length, number and intensity over the past century. More intriguing still, this trend has accelerated markedly since 1982." - Excerpt from Science Daily. "While some of us may enjoy the warmer waters when we go swimming, these heatwaves have significant impacts on ecosystems, biodiversity, fisheries, tourism and aquaculture. There are often profound economic consequences that go hand in hand with these events." - Dr Eric Oliver from Dalhousie University, Canada. Learn more here.
