Highlights
- Ocean climatic and non-climatic stressors have affected ocean life and human health
- Field observation and modeling research for multiple ocean stressors.
- Investigate the adaptation ability of the ocean ecosystem towards ocean stressors.
- Investigate the effect of nutritional changes and chronic effects of contaminated seafood.
- Develop and use plasma pyrolysis and gasification technology and promote a healthy and eco-living lifestyle.
Abstract
Ocean life forms are fundamentally well adapted to natural environmental variations, and they can even tolerate extreme conditions for a short time. However, several anthropogenic stressors are causing such drastic changes in the ocean ecosystem. First, the review attempts to outline the impact of climatic and non-climatic stressors on ocean life, and it also outlines the synergistic impact of both stressors. Then the impact on human health caused by the damage of the marine ecosystem has been discussed. Furthermore, the type of prior studies and current mitigation adaptation programs have been presented. Finally, some perspectives about future research and mitigation adaptation are offered.
