She says that an increasing number of ocean life species are changing breeding, spawning and migration cycles based on climate change. She continued to explain that just a one degree increase in the temperature of the World's oceans could mean that marine animals and even plants could have to travel hundreds of miles just to stay in their safe comfort zones that they are used to living in. This is obviously a major problem for organisms such as corals that are not able to move these distances.



Hmmm..just one degree?

I have seen numbers up to 6 degrees.

Coastal communities that require fish as a food source are gonna get slammed...more fuel to go out further to find fish is more positive feedback.

Here's an idea - let's stop putting fish in pet food - for starters.
I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.

If it's six degrees, then that means marine life is more resilient.
