Scientists have revealed a significant change in the color of the world’s oceans, which will have far-reaching effects on marine ecosystems and the global carbon cycle.
The new study, led by BB Cal from the UK’s National Oceanography Centre, analyzed 20 years of data from NASA’s Aqua satellite, which found that 56 per cent of the world’s oceans have changed in color since 2002. There has been a change, mainly going green.
This change in the color of the oceans provides important insights into the health and structure of marine ecosystems.
The research results interact with climate model predictions, but are beginning to appear much earlier than expected. This initial confirmation of this trend underscores the need for rapid and sustained monitoring and research of climate change in our oceans.

NASA’s upcoming PACE satellite mission, scheduled to launch in 2024, will provide more detailed observations of ocean color, and potentially provide more insight into phytoplankton diversity and growth rates.
