Earth’s oceans have had record warm sea surface temperatures for the past four months 🌡️ 🌊

Decades of warming due to human-caused climate change and a developing El Niño have pushed global ocean temperatures to record levels, @nasa scientists say. go.nasa.gov/3EasjFs

This map shows sea surface temperature anomalies on Aug. 21, 2023. On that day, many areas were more than 3°C (5.4°F) warmer than the 2003-2014 average for that day.

Data come from @NASAJPL’s MUR SST, which includes measurements from satellites, ships and buoys.

Did you know that #CoralReefs harbor the highest #biodiversity of any ecosystem globally? Despite covering less than 0.1% of the ocean floor, reefs host more than one quarter of all marine fish species, in addition to many other marine animals 🪸 🐠 - Red List of Ecosystems
