Marine life reacting faster to climate change than land species

Bloomberg: Species that depend on the sea are reacting more quickly to global warming than land-based life, according to a study in scientific journal Nature Climate Change, with implications for fisheries and food supplies. Areas occupied by marine species including fish, corals and plankton are moving by an average of 72 kilometers (45 miles) a decade, typically toward the poles, the study by researchers at 17 institutions in 8 countries said today. Thats more than 10 times the 6.1 kilometer rate that...
Marine Animals Shifting to Polar Regions to Cope with Climate Change

Nature World News: Marine animals are shifting to the poles to cope with climate change, according to a new study. Related studies had earlier found that climate change will drive away most of native California fish to extinction, while non-native fish take their place in the colder waters up north. The new study shows that many marine organisms have now started migrating to the poles and are moving faster than land animals. The observation supports the idea that climate change is forcing these animals to seek a better...

Climate change pushing marine life towards the poles
2013-08-05 10:52:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Rising ocean temperatures are rearranging the biological make-up of our oceans, pushing species towards the poles by 7kms every year, as they chase the climates they can survive in, according to new research. The study, conducted by a working group of scientists from 17 different institutions, gathered data from seven different countries and found the warming oceans are causing marine species to alter their breeding, feeding and migration patterns. Surprisingly, land species are shifting at a rate...

Study finds climate change is causing modifications to marine life behavior
2013-08-04 19:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Phys.Org: Oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth's surface, yet our knowledge of the impact of climate change on marine habitats is a mere drop in the proverbial ocean compared to terrestrial systems. An international team of scientists set out to change that by conducting a global meta-analysis of climate change impacts on marine systems. Counter to previous thinking, marine species are shifting their geographic distribution toward the poles and doing so much faster than their land-based counterparts. The...
