The #OSR10 reveals European seas under growing pressure.
As waters warm, #MarineHeatwaves intensify, and #Storms can grow more severe, threatening marine life and coastal communities.
Find out more in the #CopernicusMarine report:
The report found the ocean has absorbed around 90% of the excess heat trapped by human-caused emissions, with record-breaking #MarineHeatwaves in places like the Mediterranean and Black Sea.
Across #TransformingTomorrow, we've explored the challenges facing our oceans:
The death of tropical coal reefs may be inevitable as their tipping point is crossed, but a new report provides some hope that there is time to act.

Sea star wasting disease occurs naturally but research has linked prolonged, severe outbreaks to #MarineHeatwaves and a #WarmingOcean. The ocean is changing. Our job is to observe carefully, ask better questions, share what we learn, and act before today's warning signs become tomorrow's losses.
Could marine heatwaves change the food-safety risks of oysters? New research finds heatwave-exposed Pacific oysters had higher post-harvest Vibrio parahaemolyticus levels, highlighting species-specific risks in warming oceans.
