TL;DR Summary

A study conducted by scientists from MIT and the National Oceanography Center reveals that 56% of the world's oceans have experienced significant color changes over the past 20 years due to human-induced climate change. These changes, particularly in equatorial tropical regions, indicate shifts within marine ecosystems. The researchers suggest that monitoring ocean colors, which reflect changes in phytoplankton communities, could provide a faster and more accurate method of detecting climate-change-driven changes to marine ecosystems.
