Abstract

Global warming is significantly altering marine biodiversity through ocean warming, acidification, and deoxygenation. These changes disrupt species distributions, food webs, and ecosystem functions, posing threats to marine ecosystems and the global food industry. Coral reefs, crucial habitats for marine species, are highly vulnerable to thermal stress and acidification, leading to habitat loss and declining fisheries productivity. Additionally, expanding hypoxic zones reduce habitat suitability for many species, further destabilizing marine communities. These impacts jeopardize fisheries and aquaculture, which are vital protein sources worldwide. Effective mitigation requires integrated strategies, including greenhouse gas reduction, sustainable fisheries management, and marine protected areas to enhance ecosystem resilience and ensure food security. This article synthesizes current knowledge on the influence of global warming on marine biodiversity and its implications for the food industry.
