Mediterranean Sea Warms, Fish Invaders Rise | San Francisco News
Description
The Mediterranean Sea is boiling—literally—and it’s crashing marine life and coastal livelihoods. Warmer waters, fueled by fossil fuels, are inviting hundreds of invasive fish species through the Suez Canal, devouring native populations like red mullet and wiping out entire ecosystems. From Adriatic mussels to predatory puffers, the damage is spreading fast. Scientists warn the sea could be six degrees hotter by 2100, with no escape for heat trapped in this enclosed basin. But hope isn’t gone: researchers are turning invaders into income, upgrading ship hulls to block hitchhikers, and pushing global ballast water rules to stem the tide. The fight to save the sea’s soul is on—and it’s urgent.
