Climate Change Impacts

MPAs, and the resources and ecosystems they may encompass, are already facing intensifying climate change impacts. MPA Center partners have developed useful resources on these impacts, and the partner materials spotlighted here can assist with understanding the challenges MPAs face in a changing ocean. These resources provide general information on the impact of climate change globally and in the United States, as well as resources on challenges unique to marine and coastal areas, like ocean deoxygenation and ocean warming.
