The Mediterranean Sea reached its highest-ever surface temperature last week, according to Spanish researchers. The average of 28.9\u00b0C on 15 August, calculated with data from the European Union\u2019s Copernicus Earth observation programme, topped the previous record set in July last year. A maximum temperature for the day of 31.96\u00b0C was also recorded on the Egyptian coast at El-Arish.<\/p>\n<p>Almost the entire basin is suffering under the effects of a marine heatwave. Sea temperatures have spiked, particularly close to shore. But these warm waters aren\u2019t unique to this summer and the region is a hotspot for climate change. Sea surface temperatures have been unusually high since 2022, abnormal even in the context of global warming. The Mediterranean is warming at a much higher rate than the global average.<\/p>\n<p>When will Europe\u2019s heatwave end?\u00a0 For the last two summers, its waters have been warmer than they were during the 2003 heatwave where temperatures hit record numbers that went unchallenged for two decades. These prolonged high sea surface temperatures could have major consequences across the basin.<\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s oceans and seas are complex ecosystems which serve as vital climate regulators. They play a critical role in mitigating the effect of human activities on the environment, absorbing around 90 per cent of the excess heat generated by anthropogenic activities since the Industrial Revolution began. This heat is distributed around the world via ocean currents. Some of it is released into the atmosphere, some penetrates the deeper layers of the ocean. It is a crucial process for maintaining our planet\u2019s climate systems.<\/p>\n<p>Marine heatwaves, characterised by prolonged periods of exceptionally high ocean temperatures, show us that something in that system has gone out of balance. Pierre Bahurel, director general of Mercator Ocean International says we should think of them like \u201cunderwater wildfires\u201d. \u201cThere is the same thing in the ocean with these heatwaves and we tend to think that it&#8217;s far away, that it&#8217;s another story,\u201d he says. \u201cBut it&#8217;s the same story and we need to understand what biodiversity is going to be definitively destroyed, what the impact will be on us, what it will change next in terms of the great balances and, above all, how we can avoid continuing this disaster we&#8217;ve wrought on the oceans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Research published last year found that around half of the worst marine heatwaves on record have hit the Mediterranean since 2015. Scientists say this repetition &#8211; the \u2018new normal\u2019 &#8211; is what is causing problems.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/08\/22\/lost-income-less-tourists-and-freak-weather-overheated-seas-affect-far-more-than-just-mari\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/08\/22\/lost-income-less-tourists-and-freak-weather-overheated-seas-affect-far-more-than-just-mari\">: Euronews Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/lost-income-less-tourists-and-freak-weather-overheated-seas-affect-far-more-than-just-marine-life\/\">Lost income, less tourists and freak weather: Overheated seas affect far more than just marine life<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15813,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-overheated-seas-affect","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133234\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
