Disruption of the natural carbon cycle and the intensification of the greenhouse effect, driven by escalating atmospheric CO2, are the primary causes of the 'deadly trio' of impacts now profoundly affecting marine ecosystems: ocean warming, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation. Each of these stressors, individually, poses significant threats to marine life and ecosystems. However, their combined and interacting effects create a synergistic feedback loop, amplifying their detrimental conse...
