AZTI INSIGHTS | OCEAN AND CLIMATE. Marine Climate Change

What is it?

Climate change is already altering our oceans: rising temperatures, acidification, oxygen depletion, and species being displaced from their habitats. This report, prepared by AZTI, compiles the latest scientific knowledge on how climate change is affecting the marine environment in our region, particularly in the waters of the Cantabrian Sea and the Atlantic.

What does this report contribute?

This publication brings together data, trends, and scientific evidence to help us understand how our marine ecosystems are changing and what implications this has for biodiversity, fisheries, the environment, and society.

It is a reference tool for researchers, managers, and policymakers who need reliable information to make decisions in an increasingly uncertain environment.

Key contents

Who is it for?

Researchers, environmental managers, marine and fisheries professionals, and anyone interested in the future of our oceans.
