What is happening in the sea?
Over-consumption has discharged into the ocean a gigantic amount disposal. This consequently led to marine pollution, ocean acidification, extinction of marine species and climate change. Everything acts like a string tightening the nature cycle of oceans.
What is happening to our environment today?
Many other aspects of global climate are changing as well. High temperature extremes and heavy precipitation events are increasing, glaciers and snow cover are shrinking, and sea ice is retreating. Seas are warming, rising, and becoming more acidic, and flooding is become more frequent along the U.S. coastline.
