One of the significant ocean sustainability issues has to do with the food chain -- with the impacts of climate change/global warming on the foundations of the food chain, the plankton and the plankton' sensitivity to changes in ocean temperature

This is a first magnitude environmental security issue that demands ongoing measuring/monitoring to record changes in the ocean ecosystem over time as the food chain and plankton resources

Dr Bowler: "It is temperature that determines what sort of communities of organisms we find. If we look at our data and we see what organisms are there, we can predict with 97% probability the temperature of the water they are living in.

"These organisms are most sensitive to temperature, more than anything else, and with changing temperatures as a result of climate change we are likely to see changes in this community."

The researchers say that this scientific analysis is just the beginning.

They are making their findings freely available to the scientific community to gain a better understanding of this vital but unseen underwater world.
