The UN’s latest Intergovernmental Report on Climate Change reports that temperatures since 1970 have been rising significantly and twice as rapidly in the last 25 years. This rapid warming coincides with rising sea levels and more frequent marine heat waves which together create a ripple effect resulting in massive die-offs among all sea-dwelling species. Additionally, recent major flooding has led scientists to predict the more frequent occurrence of ocean dead zones—areas of water not able to sustain life due to low concentrations of oxygen. These occur when agricultural industry runoff and pollution end up in rivers and subsequently the ocean. There are also an estimated 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean, polluting countless habitats and putting many species in danger. Given our oceans comprise more than 70% of Earth’s surface, this can all lead to catastrophic
