Oceans under climate stress: AI, satellites, real-time data hold key to protecting global fisheries

Kochi, Nov 5 (UNI) Climate change is rapidly reshaping the world's oceans, with rising sea temperatures, marine heatwaves, shifting fish populations, coral bleaching and harmful algal blooms emerging as major threats to marine biodiversity, fisheries and the livelihoods of millions of coastal people, marine scientists have warned. Calling for a globally integrated, technology-driven ocean monitoring network, experts stressed the need to harness satellite remote sensing, artificial intelligence (AI), oceanographic observations, climate models and real-time in-situ data to detect environmental changes, forecast extreme marine events and provide timely early warnings to fishing communities. The warning came at the inaugural session of…
