Mediterranean in Danger: Rising Temperatures, Invading Species

PLAY

Rising temperatures transform the Mediterranean into tropical waters, where invasive species disrupt ecosystems and threaten coastal livelihoods.

Unnoticed by millions of tourists who are drawn to the beautiful Mediterranean every year, life beneath the surface is changing dramatically.

The Mediterranean Sea is reaching record temperatures, increasingly turning into tropical waters. This benefits invasive species such as the carnivorous bearded fireworm and the aggressive lionfish, which have spread explosively in the Mediterranean in recent years. These intruders not only threaten the fragile marine ecosystem, but also endanger the livelihoods of many coastal residents who depend on the sea.
