PC23B:
Climate Impacts on Marine Species IV eLightning

Session ID#: 93499

Session Description:
The marine environment is disproportionately impacted by climate
change, as evidenced through increasing water temperature, ocean
acidification, deoxygenation, rising sea levels, shifting circulation
patterns and increased storm activity. We invite presentations that
explore the observed or modeled response of marine organisms to
climate variability or climate change. Recent studies have revealed
climate-mediated declines in some marine species, while others have
shown remarkable resilience to climate change. For example, Arctic sea
ice loss threatens species that rely on ice for habitat such as polar
bears and ringed seals, whereas tuna species that target moderate sea
surface temperatures may experience range expansion. Ecological
impacts can derive from changes in physiology, bioenergetics,
abundance, distribution, habitat, community structure, reproduction,
behavior, and phenology. A wide range of marine organisms will be
considered, including invertebrates, fish, reptiles, mammals, and sea
birds. We also invite presentations that explore climate impacts on
marine fisheries in terms of spatial distribution, changing target
species and/or gear type, or simply the challenges faced by fisheries
management in a changing climate. This session will showcase observed
and predicted responses of marine organisms to climate change and
provide a venue for researchers to contrast climate-driven phenomena
across regions and taxa.
