Impact of Climate Change on Marine Ecosystem

Abstract This paper deals with impact of climate change on marine ecosystem. It outlines the marine biological process and structure, physiological, population and community response consequent upon climate change. This paper makes a special note on marine ecosystem structure and functions, impact on coral reef system and key point of climate change impact on marine ecosystem. This paper concludes with some interesting findings along with future course of issues and actions to mitigate the impact of climate change on marine eco system. Climate change is affecting marine life. Warming oceans, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, droughts, and floods the productivity of our waters. Many of the marine species we work to conserve and protect, including endangered and threatened species, are already compromised. Rising sea levels mean bridges are lower in relation to the water, which can make it difficult for cargo ships to pass through and get to ports. As a result of rising sea levels, cargo ships have to be mindful of the height of the load they're transporting. Marine ecosystems contain. A diverse array of living organisms and biotic processes from massive marine mammals like whales to the tiny krill that form the bottom of the food chain, all life in the ocean is interconnected. Rising temperatures increase the risk of irreversible loss of marine and coastal ecosystems. Today, widespread changes have been observed, including damage to coral reefs and mangroves that support ocean life, and migration of species to higher latitudes and altitudes where the water could be cooler.
