Birds
This arctic bird has seen a decline in its population from warmer waters forcing them to travel farther and dive deeper for food that is becoming more scarce.
Penguins
Due to rising sea temperatures, these giant mammals are failing to create the blubber needed to stay warm in colder waters.
Whales
These fish spend most of their life in the ocean, coming back upstream to reproduce and die. Warming waters correlate to changing stream flow, which has had a negative impact on these fish ecosystems.
Salmon
Warming water temperatures prevent water from circulating, which allows this sea life to grow thicker and faster.
Algae
In some areas, these common beach birds have been resorting to cannibalism due to rising ocean temperatures making food scarce.
Seagulls
These playful mammals are having seizures and psychotic episodes due to ingesting fish contaminated with cyanobacteria.
Seals
The increasingly warmer and less oxygen rich waters have made the nursery grounds of these popular carnivorous fish virtually uninhabitable.
Sharks
These sea organisms are experiencing thermal stress which causes bleaching and infectious disease.
Coral Reefs
These seabirds mate for life, and in recent years scientists have found that years with the warmest oceans correlate to years with higher divorce rates of these bird couples.
Albatrosses
These gentle mammals, which can be seen in Florida, are being poisoned by cyanobacteria algae blooms caused by warmer ocean temperatures.
Manatees
Warming waters have caused these “inflatable” fish to interbreed, resulting in mutant hybrid fish.
Pufferfish
These organisms, that are a large source of oxygen and a main food source for other marine life, are being depleted.
