New research from MIT, the National Oceanography Center in the U.K, and NASA reveals that approximately 56% of the world's oceans have changed color over the past 20 years due to human-induced climate change. The change is attributed to alterations in the phytoplankton community near the ocean's surface. The study highlights the significant impact of climate change on the planet's oceans, affecting not only their color but also the ecosystems and organisms that rely on them.
