Heat waves over the world’s oceans are becoming longer and more frequent, damaging coral reefs and creating chaos for aquatic species. Kim Cobb, of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, says that most of the effects of these heat waves are "invisible" to humans. The real damage will be to marine life. Cobb continues, "These heat waves will only get worse, with untold impacts on ocean resources that we all depend on for food, recreation, and other ecosystem services."
