The Impact of Climate Change on Marine Biodiversity: A Zoological Assessment

Abstract

Over the course of the last several years, climate change has emerged as a significant driver of environmental alterations, which means that it will have significant effects on marine ecosystems. The purpose of this research is to provide a complete zoological analysis of the effect that climate change is having on marine biodiversity. Rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and changed ocean currents are all contributing factors that are causing the seas, which are rich with life, to experience changes that have never been seen before. The habitats, movement habits, and reproductive cycles of marine animals are being disrupted as a direct result of these changes, which are harming everything from tiny plankton to magnificent whales. Furthermore, the cascade consequences of these adjustments are felt across the whole food chain, which leads to ecological imbalances that poses a danger to the resilience and sustainability of marine life. This assessment sheds light on the urgent need for conservation efforts and adaptive strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on our oceans and preserve the rich diversity of marine life for generations to come. This is accomplished by synthesising the findings of current research.
