Bottom Trawling Threatens Future Climate Refugia of Rhodoliths Globally

The duration and intensity of marine heatwaves may persist for longer in deeper water, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change, led by researchers of CCMAR and University of Algarve. The findings indicate that subsurface biodiversity may be at a high risk of exposure to cumulative heat from these events.
