In the Pacific Island region, marine resources make vital contributions to food security, livelihoods and economic development. Climate change is expected to have profound effects on the status and distribution of coastal and oceanic habitats, the fish and invertebrates they support and, as a result...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has estimated that sea levels will rise between 9 and 88 cm by the year 2100. This increase has the potential to cripple, if not destroy, whole Pacific Island states due to their low-lying geographical location. Traditionally, a threat to ...

South Pacific IslandsClimate change poses a significant threat to humanity by intensifying multiple hazards. South Pacific Island countries (SPICs) are affected and face a dire challenge to survival. Sea level rise is reducing the already limited land for human and animal habitation. Tropical ...
For example, in the Pacific Islands, where fish is a staple food, the decline in fish populations has led to a rise in malnutrition and food insecurity. In conclusion, the impact of climate change on ocean ecosystems is a complex issue that affects multiple perspectives. From a scientific ...

Climate change interacts with the sources and cycling of contaminants, such as radionuclides, in the environment. In this review, we discuss the implications of climate change impacts on existing and potential future sources of radionuclides associated w
Climate change effects on coastal ecosystems vary on large spatial scales, but can also be highly site dependent at the regional level. The Wadden Sea in the south-eastern North Sea is warming faster than many other temperate coastal areas, with surface seawater temperature increasing by almost 2...
