User: How is climate change affecting oceans in the Mediterranean region?
Assistant: Climate change is having devastating effects on the oceans in the Mediterranean region. Warmer air and seawater temperatures are resulting in changes in weather patterns, ocean currents, and increasing acidification of the ocean. These changes have had dramatic impacts on the local marine ecosystem, with the displacement of species and degradation of coral reefs. Warming waters have also led to an increase in the number of invasive and harmful species that are disrupting the balance of marine ecosystems. In addition, rising sea levels and resulting coastal erosion are a growing concern in this region.
