Resumo: | Are the oceans dying? This is a question that many people are asking themselves more and more insistently. The answer is that in no case are they dying – but they are being transformed. Deeply. Unfortunately, this transformation has changed the ocean for a worst stage in terms of overall quality. Human-induced changes across the globe affect marine more than terrestrial ecosystems. And, at sea, there is a problem: because it is not our environment, it is not easy for us to see what is happening. However, make no mistake: oceans connect all continents and have a profound impact on the terrestrial ecosystem as well. All over the world, the disappearance of large predators (whales, sharks, tuna fish, turtles, seals, swordfish, etc.), as well as the drastic reduction in many living structures on the seabed (coral reefs, algae meadows and higher plants, deep corals, etc.), has led entire ecosystems to change and achieve a new balance on the basis of abundant small organisms and accelerated life. And there is more: persistent pollution, both chemical and biological, and the “not fully understood but certain” effects of climate change may be adding to the plight of our oceans as we know them. Unfortunately, we cannot claim to know the full impact that such changes may have on the entire system, on the functioning of our planet, and on our own survival. In fact, ocean science is still dealing with several challenges to understand the largest area of the world, their needs and priorities, as well as potential solutions. |

Essa é uma questão que muitos se fazem mais e mais insistentemente. A resposta é que de forma alguma eles estão morrendo – mas estão sendo transformados. Profundamente transformados. Infelizmente, essa transformação tornou pior a qualidade dos oceanos, pois as mudanças induzidas pelo homem ao longo do globo afetam os ecossistemas marinhos mais do que os terrestres. No mar, contudo, um problema deve ser considerado: por não ser nosso ambiente, não é fácil para nós ver o que está ocorrendo. Entretanto, não se engane: os oceanos conectam todos os continentes e têm um profundo impacto também nos ecossistemas terrestres. Por todo o mundo, o desaparecimento de grandes predadores (baleias, tubarões, atuns, tartarugas, focas e peixe-espada etc.), assim como a drástica redução de muitas estruturas vivas no fundo do mar (recifes de coral, pradarias marinhas, corais profundos etc.) resultaram em alterações em ecossistemas inteiros, levando-os a atingirem novos balanços baseados em organismos pequenos e abundantes e de tempo de vida mais rápido. Porém, isso não é tudo: a poluição persistente, seja de natureza química, seja de natureza biológica, e os efeitos “ainda não completamente entendidos, mas certos” das mudanças climáticas podem estar piorando a situação dos oceanos como os conhecemos. Infelizmente, não podemos dizer que conhecemos o impacto completo que tais mudanças podem ter sobre o sistema como um todo, sobre o funcionamento do planeta e sobre a nossa própria sobrevivência. De fato, a ciência oceânica ainda é provocada por vários desafios para entender essa que é a maior área do mundo, assim como suas necessidades, prioridades e potenciais soluções.Arquivo de Ciências do Mar2022-03-28T13:11:58Z2022-03-28T13:11:58Z2022info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfROSSI, Sergio; COTOVITZ JÚNIOR, Luiz Carlos; SOUSA, Paulo Henrique Gomes de Oliveira; TAVARES, Tallita Cruz Lopes; TEIXEIRA, Carlos Eduardo Peres.
