海洋熱波は「健康問題」である

Marine heatwaves are periods when the surface of the ocean stays much warmer than usual.

Researchers now describe them as a human health problem, not only an environmental one.

Warm oceans give more energy to storms, which damages housing and health services.

They also change the safety of seafood and the income of fishing communities.

Mental health and food security are affected long after the water cools down.

Climate change is therefore a social determinant of health.
