The continuous rise in global temperatures is causing significant damage to the world's oceans and seas. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This process has been consistently observed since 1984. In recent years, especially in 2023 and 2024, the heat of sea waters has reached record levels.
During this period, the number of hot sea days has increased three and a half times compared to previous years. According to reports from meteorologists and climate experts, in 2025 the surface temperature of global sea water remains at its highest level.
Due to climate change and global warming, the area of warm water has reached approximately 40 million square kilometers over the past two years. This accounts for nearly ten percent of the world's oceans.
Excessive heating negatively affects the aquatic environment, posing a threat especially to marine animals and corals in tropical regions. The strongest sea heat in the last fifty years has been recorded in the Tasman Sea, the Solomon Sea, much of the Pacific Ocean near small island developing states, and the Mediterranean Sea.
Scientists emphasize that the Mediterranean Sea is warming three times faster than the global average heat level. This increases the likelihood of disruption to regional climate conditions and water balance.
Therefore, additional measures by the global community are necessary to improve the state of the oceans and reduce the negative consequences of climate change.
