Environmental News Network: While global climate change is still widely disputed, indications of warming oceans are evident as major shifts in marine life are being reported off the coasts of Australia. In turn, major ecosystems, including cold-water marine habitats, as well as human recreational and commercial activities are at risk. According to a three-year international study led by CSIROs Climate Adaptation Flagship and University of Queensland ecologists Elvira Poloczanska and Anthony Richardson, warming oceans that...
