Well, if you have been reading the news or following our blogs, you know the ocean is getting hotter due to humans burning fossil fuels. In fact, 90% of all global warming is occurring in our ocean. Love ocean content? HABs are also found in Arctic waters as a result of ocean warming in this chilly region.
