4] An increase in global temperature leads to melting of the ice caps which causes the ocean to expand and sea level to rise. The addition of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere and their effect on global temperature also strengthens existing climatic patterns, such as cyclones, floods, droughts and heatwaves. should be.

6] Scientists are alarmed that this year the temperature of the surface of the oceans has reached levels that are much higher, [7] and the extent of Antarctic sea ice is much lower, [8] than ever previously recorded. It’s long past time to stop relegating the climate problem to a narrowly conceived field of “environmental law.”

The trained marine biologist guides shared that water pollution in the Pacific Ocean and local bay have contributed to the population’s decline, and they talked about what is being done to improve it. I’ll never forget witnessing how a family moved around hunting their prey—sea lions—and celebrated by springing out of the water.
