The Mediterranean Sea experienced its warmest July on record, with average sea surface temperatures reaching 26.68°C. A significant portion of the sea is experiencing above-average temperatures, leading to serious threats to marine biodiversity and coastal habitats. Research indicates that even a slight increase in temperature could cause irreversible damage to marine ecosystems. The Mediterranean is identified as a climate change hotspot, warming faster than the global average, and facing risks from overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction. Experts emphasize the urgent need for climate protection measures to mitigate these risks. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
