New global review in Nature Reviews Biodiversity, incl. CCRC’s Alex Sen Gupta, shows marine heatwaves are reshaping ecosystems from coral bleaching to kelp loss disrupting fisheries,food webs & coastal livelihoods. Urgent need to cut emissions, build resilience & adapt fast. doi.org/10.1038/s443....
