Oceans are constantly changing. These changes don’t only affect marine life but also have wide-reaching consequences for land dwellers.

Now, researchers have reported on the latest changes, showing that compared to 40 years ago, the ocean near the island of Bermuda is warmer, saltier, more acidic, and has lost oxygen. Long-term monitoring can provide information about existential challenges societies will face in the near future, the researchers said.
