Climate change affects the ocean by decreasing biodiversity. Rising temperatures, ocean acidification, and other climate-related changes can lead to habitat destruction and species loss, negatively impacting marine biodiversity.

A decrease in food resources can decrease biodiversity. When food resources become scarce, it can lead to population declines or local extinctions of species that depend on them, ultimately reducing the variety of life in an ecosystem.

The establishment of a bird reservation is a way to preserve an ecosystem. Such reservations help protect habitats, support bird populations, and contribute to overall biodiversity conservation.

Bleached coral is a sign that the water is too warm. Coral bleaching occurs when corals lose the symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) that live in their tissues, often due to stress from elevated water temperatures, which can result from climate change.
