A marine heatwave is a prolonged period of unusually high sea surface temperatures in a specific region of the ocean. These temperature anomalies can significantly affect marine ecosystems, weather patterns, and human activities. Marine heatwaves can be caused by various factors, including: 1. **Climate Change**: Rising global temperatures contribute to higher sea surface temperatures, leading to more frequent and intense marine heatwaves. 2. **Ocean Currents**: Changes in ocean circulation patterns can lead to localized warming.
