A day dedicated to informing, educating, and raising awareness about the effects of climate change.
At #AcústicaMarina, we highlight the consequences of #climatechange on the oceans and invite everyone to take individual and collective action to reverse its impact. The future of our oceans and our planet is in our hands.
Researchers, scientists worldwide, and specialized @UnitedNations agencies have warned that rising ocean temperatures, acidification, pollution, and unsustainable use of marine resources have devastating effects on marine ecosystems.
The melting of Arctic sea ice, coral bleaching, and species migration are some of the consequences of climate change that are significantly altering marine biodiversity, which could severely impact global fisheries and aquaculture.
Some of the measures and recommendations from the #UNEnvironment Program @unep_es @unep to mitigate climate change’s impact on our oceans include:
- Keeping global warming below 2ºC, aiming for 1.5ºC as outlined in the #ParisAgreement.
- Implementing strong measures to stop overfishing and illegal fishing to prevent and reduce marine pollution.
- Increasing investment in research to expand scientific knowledge in these areas.
