The entire value and supply chain! Good idea to audit your carbon footprint #ClimateChangeOceans

@WWFSASSI @sanlam Coral bleaching due to acidification was very visible during a snorkeling trip in Thailand. #climatechangeoceans

[WWF-SASSI @WWFSASSI]

To think that such beauty that has been around for millions of years, can be impacted in an instant. #ClimateChangeOceans

[Monica @mon8642]

@WWFSASSI Everyone. People and animals #ClimateChangeOceans

[WWF-SASSI @WWFSASSI]

Sadly, fishers are already experiencing
🐟Increase in distance to the shore for fishing
🐟Reduced fishing yields
🐟Reduced areas to fish
🐟Reduced number of suitable fishing days as well as ecreasing catches meaning they should go fishing farther offshore. #ClimateChangeOceans

#DidYouKnow: In South Africa, the fisheries sector is worth around R6 billion per annum & directly employs some 27 000 people in the commercial sector. Thousands more and their families depend on these resources for food and the basic needs of life. #ClimateChangeOceans

@WWFSASSI A3: I think if its business as usual all of us will be affected, from food insecurity to weather events,the most vulnerable will be affected first like the small scale fisher and poor coastal communities. #climatechangeoceans @WWFSouthAfrica @missearth_sa @WOOLWORTHS_SA @sanlam

[Melisha Nagiah @Melisha_Nagiah]

@WWFSASSI coastal communities, small-scale and commercial fishers. Anyone who relies on the ocean for their livelihoods especially small island nations #climatechangeoceans

[Monica @mon8642]

@WWFSASSI @WOOLWORTHS_SA @WoolworthsGBJ A2: We will see a drop in the diversity and availability of seafood. #ClimateChangeOceans

[Delsy Sifundza @DelsySifundza]

Will we even have an ocean by then, or even land? We will experience sea level rise. Changes in the chemistry of the ocean and all species found there #ClimateChangeOceans

A: Small-scale fishers all across South Africa's coastline, from the Northern Cape to KwaZulu Natal, have told tales of changing ocean streams, stronger winds and choppier waters, all making it harder to maintain their livelihood. @WWFSouthAfrica @WWFSASSI #ClimateChangeOceans

[Miss Earth South Africa @missearth_sa]

The problem is not "how will" the problem is "how is climate change affecting our oceans" ? Its a problem already.Our oceans are already suffering under the immense pressure &pollution of "business as usual", How do we get people and governments to change... #ClimateChangeOceans

[WWF-SASSI @WWFSASSI]

🐟Sea level rise - affecting low-lying islands, coasts & communities
🐟Changing marine ecosystems
🐟Food security & community livelihoods
🐟Ocean acidification, causing coral bleaching
🐟Extremes in weather and abrupt changes

#ClimateChangeOceans @WWFSouthAfrica

[Monica @mon8642]

@WWFSouthAfrica @WWFSASSI @missearth_sa @WOOLWORTHS_SA @sanlam A1: The impact is difficult to comprehend. From rising sea levels to increasing temperatures #climatechangeoceans

When I tell people I’m a Marine Biologist they assume I work in an aquarium training 🐬 or . But my work is so much more nuanced. MS #GreenerWorld

[WWF South Africa @WWFSouthAfrica]

As a Marine Scientist I coordinate the @WWFSASSI seafood assessment process – looking at the sustainability of fish stocks. I also sit in government meetings, work with fisheries to improve their fishing practices and provide scientific support for a #GreenerWorld. MS

[WWF South Africa @WWFSouthAfrica]

My name is Monica or Mon🙂I'm originally from the Vaal but have been living in Cape Town for 5 years. I have a Master’s degree in Zoology from @UPTuks where I got to study my favourite animal, the dolphin 🐬 I'm happily married and have a cat named Ray🐱 #GreenerWorld #GreenJobs

[WWF-SASSI @WWFSASSI]

A4: With decreased human activity in our oceans, there have been increased sightings of dolphins, crabs, fish and other marine animals that can enjoy their homes without interference. #ValueOurOceans
