Every year, the ocean provides us with more than 80 million metric tons of wild seafood. It’s an essential source of nutrition for more than a billion people and the driver of hundreds of millions of jobs around the world. But rising temperatures are threatening wild fisheries and, with them, the food security and economic security of coastal communities all over the world.

Together with overfishing, acidification, and plastic pollution, climate change is forcing unprecedented change in the oceans—all of which endanger the world’s food supply.

We still have time to adapt how we manage our fisheries so that climate change doesn’t impact our sustainable wild seafood supply. But we must act now.

 
 

Ocean temperatures are rising even faster than scientists previously thought
