Stress in the Marine Environment
11
Multiple Stressors in the Marine Environment Predators Light limitation Temperature Competition
13
Stressors brought about by climate change Alteration of ocean chemistry/Ocean acidification Increased seawater temperature Changes in salinity Changes in currents and sedimentation Invasive species Loss of habitat Sea-level rise
14
Alteration of Ocean Chemistry Increasing accumulation of CO 2 in sea leads to ocean acidification

24
Effects on Intertidal Ecosystems Increased storms lead to more frequent wave activity
25
Effects on Intertidal Ecosystems Sea level rise would drown some habitats and compact others
26
Effects on Coral Reefs Increased sea temperatures cause coral bleaching www.reefteach.com.au

Effects on Coral Reefs Reduction in calcification rate due to increased CO 2 De’ath et al, Science, 2008
29
Effects on Seagrass Ecosystems Increased erosion leads to increased turbidity Alteration of range Short et al. 2007
32
Effects on Kelp Ecosystems Reduction in range
33
Effects on Kelp Ecosystems Increased frequency of El Nino leads to reduction of nutrient supply Increases in storms, sedimentation, and turbidity
34
Impacts to Biodiversity
