Take Action for Climate-Ready Fisheries. The ocean has buffered our planet from the impacts of climate change, absorbing much of the carbon dioxide we’ve emitted and a substantial amount of the heat from our warming atmosphere. The ocean is getting higher and hotter; it holds less oxygen; and it’s becoming more acidic.
