Is climate change turning the ocean green?

A new study revealed that 56% of the global sea surface has undergone a significant change in color in the past 20 years. After analyzing ocean color data from the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instrument on NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Aqua satellite, they found that much of the change stems from the ocean turning more green.

This map highlights the areas where ocean surface color changed in the last 20 years. The black dots on the map indicate the area, covering 12% of the ocean’s surface, where chlorophyll levels also changed over the study period.

Why green? It's difficult to say, but the team posits that it could be from different types and abundances of plankton or other factors.

This shift in the water’s hue confirms a trend expected under climate change and signals changes to ocean ecosystems.

Our Kokoda Spirit trekkers led by Phil Kaye are all safe and well in camp at 1900.
Today they walked through the magnificent giant Pandanus forest on Mt Bellamy.
Tomorrow they will cross the highest point of the track at 2186m before trekking down and along the beautiful Eora Creek to camp.

More ups, more downs. Some river crossings and the team have made their way to Templeton’s Crossing for the night. This is their highest night of camping on the track which makes for a cooler night before they head over Mt Bellamy tomorrow.

All are traveling well. 😊
