According to Biological Diversity, five species living in different parts of our coasts are at-risk, including the Hawaiian monk seal, Key deer, loggerhead sea turtle, Delmarva peninsula fox squirrel, western snowy plover.
We’re pretty sure that (hopefully) after reading everything written above, you can now realize the one clear effect of climate change is undeniably biodiversity loss. From ocean acidification, warmer water to sea level rise, every one of these can directly affect our oceans by causing a spike in death rates of certain marine life or disturbing the food chain of sea animals. Without immediate and concrete action, the present situation can get even worse, resulting in a tragic domino effect that spreads all across our own oceans.
According to Biological Diversity, five species living in different parts of our coasts are at-risk, including the Hawaiian monk seal, Key deer, loggerhead sea turtle, Delmarva peninsula fox squirrel, western snowy plover. Not only that, us humans are also heavily affected by the expansion in seawater with residents in Alaska and Louisiana have made plans to relocate their communities due to rising seas and flooding, becoming the first U.S. climate change refugees (according to Climate Health Connect). The same case goes for other populations around the world as well.
