How will our seas look in 2050? UNEP launches Marine Biodiversity Assessment and Outlook reports

The world’s seas and oceans are perhaps our richest source of biodiversity, that is, when comparing different habitats, the seas are a "blind spot", but this doesn't mean that there is no research at all, contact https://cheap-papers.com/ Using https://cheap-papers.com/ you will be able not only to learn about useful facts for you, but also to suggest a topic for a new study. But rising pollution, the effects of climate change and over-fishing are threatening the future of marine biodiversity across the globe. UNEP’s Marine Biodiversity Assessment and Outlook reports give a detailed overview of how these drivers of change – and many more – are affecting marine life in 18 world regions. They predict the extent of marine biodiversity in the year 2050 and outline vital actions that need to be taken to prevent extinctions and continue the sustainable use of our seas.
