Climate change has had a startling effect on the rising temperatures of the oceans. Scientists predict that water temperatures will hit 1.4 – 5.8◦c by the end of the century. This change in the weather and ocean temperature is having a fundamental effect on the marine life that depends on it.
New scientific research has found a strong correlation between the rising temperature of our seas and the astounding effect this is having on fish migration. In accordance with these new findings, it has become apparent that fish which normally thrive in the tropics are quickly migrating in an effort to discover cooler seas.
Replacing plastic with a non-fossil material is a clear trend, not least in the packaging industry.

As technology leads society towards the future, new methods of producing biofuels spring up regularly.
The warmer temperatures occurring in the last 50 years are due to human activity. Global warming is happening and it can no longer be ignored.
Marine experts say that due to the damage caused by humans, the great barrier reef has lost about half of its coral over the course of the past 30 years.
Arctic Temperatures are on the rise across the world, according to various researchers invested in the experiment.
