Reducing pollution and protecting ecosystems: what to do in the face of warming seas

Reducing pollution, bringing down fossil fuel use, and taking care of local ecosystems.

According to marine ecologist at the University of Gibraltar, Dr Darren Fa, these efforts remain vital in the face of the climate crisis.

The United Nations Environment Programme recently reported that global heating will surpass the 1.5 degree threshold set out in the Paris agreement - and that the world must move towards an "overshoot, peak and decline" approach to mitigate impact.

The European Copernicus climate change service recently reported record ocean temperatures, while the World Weather Attribution network recently found carbon pollution was driving marine heatwaves in Europe.
