2. Reiterates that man-made greenhouse gases have wide-ranging impacts on the complex dynamics of the marine environment and that marine ecosystems already under pressure from pollution, insufficiently regulated, and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing are also being affected by warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, changes in salinity and acidification, possible changes in the circulation of ocean currents as well as the spatial distribution of live aquatic organisms (fish, molluscs, crustaceans etc) and their spread ...[+++]along the water column; moreover recalls that scientific models predict further increases in atmospheric temperature and average sea level and that the most effective way to tackle climate change is a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions;
