CLIMATE CHANGE EFFECTS… SEA TEMPERATURE Why do they change? Past 100 years… Physical impact Thermal expansion Stronger storms Ecosystem damage Coral Bleaching Disease Reef die-off Krill Base of food chain Invasive species and disease Increased competition Drive native species to extinction

…ECOSYSTEM DAMAGE Shift/change growing seasons Increase allergies Change migration patterns Stress native species Increased disease Invasive species
