    Climate Change and The Ocean PowerPoint

    Uploaded by

    Islay Jackson
    The document discusses how climate change affects the ocean through sea level rise, changing habitats, coral bleaching, and increased storms and acidification. It also describes how the ocean helps reduce climate change through carbon storage in blue carbon habitats like saltmarshes, mangroves, and seagrass beds. Threats to the ocean include coastal development that destroys these habitats. The document suggests we can help by using renewable energy, reducing emissions from shipping, sustainable fishing, limiting development, and protecting blue carbon ecosystems.

    How can we help to reduce climate change? Summarise the
    following:

    1. The effects of climate change on the ocean

    2. How the ocean helps reduce climate change

    3. Threats to the ocean

    4. How we can manage our seas more efficiently

    5. How we can all make changes to benefit the ocean


    and reduce climate change.
    1. The effects of climate change on the ocean
    Extreme weather causes storms which damage fragile habitats and destroys costal properties.

    2. How the ocean helps reduce climate change


    Plants in carbon storing habitats like saltmarsh, mangroves, seagrass absorb and store carbon dioxide
    through photosynthesis.

    3. Threats to the ocean


    Coastal development destroying habitats like saltmarsh and mangroves.

    4. How we can manage our seas more efficiently


    Reduce coastal construction that damages climate smart habitats like
    saltmarshes.

    5. How we can all make changes to benefit the ocean and reduce climate change

    Support marine conservation charities.

    Learning Objectives

     Describe one way the ocean helps to reduce the effects of climate
    change.

     Can you describe what ocean acidification is and how it affects


    marine animals?

     How can we help to directly and indirectly reduce the effects of


    climate change on the ocean?
    We will continue to fight for
    the ocean and protect
    wildlife
