Due to closely linked changes in seawater chemistry, less oxygen remains available (in a process called ocean deoxygenation). In others, particularly in near-surface waters, warming has already had dramatic impacts on marine animals, plants and microbes. In many places, that increase may be barely measurable. Life in most of the global ocean, from pole to pole and from sea surface to the abyssal depths, is already experiencing higher temperatures due to human-driven climate change. The risk posed by climate change can be reduced by limiting global warming to no more than 1.5☌.
