“Marine heatwaves ‘catastrophic’ for ocean life, say scientists…
“The North Sea is currently experiencing one of the most extreme heatwaves on Earth, being 4-5C higher than its usual temperature for this time of year…
“The North Atlantic is also experiencing record high temperatures for this time of year.”
“An “unheard of” marine heatwave off the coasts of the UK and Ireland poses a serious threat to species, scientists have warned.
“Sea temperatures, particularly off the north-east coast of England and the west of Ireland, are several degrees above normal, smashing records for late spring and early summer.”
