Scientists warn: Warming seas threaten Antarctic ecosystems

As ocean temperatures rise, marine biologists are racing to understand the fate of species that depend on freezing conditions.

Professor Lloyd Peck of the British Antarctic Survey says warming seas are putting polar ecosystems at serious risk, with long-term consequences.

"If the Earth warms, the first places to disappear are the cold ones," Peck said.

The researcher warned that once these environments are lost, they cannot be restored.

New research shows that the penguin population in Antarctica has declined by 22%, more than double previous estimates, due to dramatic losses of sea ice, vital for breeding and survival.

Previous satellite data in 2018 suggested losses were under 10%, but scientists have revised the figure in light of rapid environmental changes./CNA
