The impact of climate change on biodiversity in marine ecosystems.

Project Abstract

Climate change is a pressing global issue that is having a profound impact on marine ecosystems and biodiversity worldwide. This research project aims to investigate the specific consequences of climate change on marine biodiversity and explore potential solutions to mitigate these effects. The study will focus on the various ways in which climate change is affecting marine species, habitats, and ecosystems, with an emphasis on understanding the underlying mechanisms driving these changes.
