Continental‐Scale Assessment of Climate‐Driven Marine Species Range Extensions Using a Decade of Citizen Science Data
1 Introduction Since the 19th century, the ocean has absorbed 91% of added heat to the Earth's system, resulting in an average ocean surface temperature increase of 1.10°C (IPCC 2021; Rohde 2024). Changes in atmospheric conditions have driven major shifts in ocean currents, eddies, and upwellings (Martinez-Moreno et al. 2021), and marine heatwaves have increased in frequency, duration, and intensity (Laufkötter et al. 2020).
Thousands of photos captured by everyday Australians reveal the secrets of our marine life as oceans warm
As the planet heats up, many marine plants and animals are moving locations to keep pace with their preferred temperatures. In the Southern Hemisphere, this means species are setting up home further south. This shift alters what we see when we go snorkelling, and when and where we catch our seafood. Crucially, it also changes sensitive marine ecosystems. But it’s not always easy for scientists to know exactly what’s happening below the ocean’s surface.
