海洋,包括太平洋、大西洋、印度洋、北冰洋、南冰洋以及诸多湾、海等,总面积约3.6亿平方千米,占地球表面近71%。 海洋占据了地球表面的绝大部分空间,影响着人类的生存发展,对人类的未来生存有着绝对的重要性。这几年,越来越多人关注到了海洋和海洋生物的保护上,今天就从科学层面一起来猜测一下,1000年后的海洋会是什么样子的?

Oceans produce more than half of our oxygen (shoutout phytoplankton!) , absorb most of the heat from global warming, and covers 70% of our planet.

But they're also changing faster than ever.

So what will the ocean look like in 1000 or even 10,000 years from now?

Let's start with 30 years from now.

The number of fish in the sea has dropped by 50% since 1970s.

So maybe you should consider settling down with that dud, boyfriend or girlfriend because honey, there's not plenty of fish in the sea anymore.

In 30 years, there'll be more plastic in the ocean than fish by biomass, and species like sea bass, usually coming along north Carolina shores, will be up near New Jersey as marine life migrates to cooler waters.

Sea levels have actually risen 5 to 8 inches in the last 100 years and continue to rise.

By 2050, 190 million people will be facing a sinking city.

Ho chi Minh City will be below sea level, Alexandria in Egypt under water, and Mumbai, one of the largest and most densely populated cities in the world, submerged.
