Marine Heatwaves

Marine heatwaves refer to prolonged periods of unusually high sea surface temperatures, often with severe consequences for marine ecosystems and the industries that depend on them. As the world's oceans continue to warm due to climate change, understanding marine heatwaves is becoming increasingly important for researchers, policymakers, and industries such as fisheries and tourism, who need to anticipate and mitigate their impacts on marine biodiversity, fisheries, and coastal communities.
