Impacts of Climate Change on Marine Biodiversity: Challenges and Conservation Strategies

Climate change is one of the most significant threats to marine
biodiversity, causing shifts in species distribution, habitat loss, and
altered ecosystem functioning. Rising sea surface temperatures,
ocean acidification, and deoxygenation are driving unprecedented
changes in marine environments. This article examines the key
impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity, focusing on
coral reefs, fisheries, and marine mammals. It further discusses
conservation strategies such as marine protected areas (MPAs),
habitat restoration, and climate-resilient fisheries management to
mitigate biodiversity loss and maintain ecosystem services.
