Figure 1-2 (a) Changes in (1) global mean sea level (data starting in 1800 with an upward trend;
Jevrejeva et al., 2008), (2) summer Arctic sea-ice area (data starting just prior to 1900 with a downward
trend; Walsh and Chapman, 2001),(3) 0-700-m ocean heat content (data starting around the mid 1900's
with an upward trend; Levitus et al., 2009),(4) sea-surface temperature (data starting around the mid1800's with a general upward trend; Rayner et al., 2006), (5) mean ocean surface pH (data starting
around 1000 with an downward trend into the future; NRC, 2010b), and (6) pCO2 (data starting around
1000 with an upward trend tinto the future; Petit et al., 1999). Shaded region denotes projected changes
in pH and pCO2 consistent with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 21st-century A2
emissions scenario with rapid population growth. (b) Time series (as identified in figure key): trends
in world population (solid line, data starting in the 1800s with an upward trend; Goldewijk, 2005), U.S.
coastal population (solid line, data staring in the 1950s with a general upward trend; Wilson and Fischetti,
2010), anthropogenic nitrogen fixation (solid line, data starting in the late 1850s with a general upward
trend; Davidson, 2009), North American marine biological invasions (solid line, data starting in the 1800s
with a general upward trend; Ruiz et al., 2000), global marine wild fish harvest (solid line, data starting
in the 1950s with a general upward trend; Food Agricultural Organization [FAO] U.N., 2010), cumulative
seagrass loss (dotted line, data starting around the mid 1920's with a general upward trend and a sharp
increase after the mid 1970s; Waycott et al., 2009), cumulative Caribbean coral cover loss (dotted line,
data starting around the mid 1970s with a general upward trend; Gardner et al., 2003), cumulative
mangrove loss (dotted line, data starting around the mid 1920's with a general upward trend and a sharp
increase after the mid 1970s; FAO U.N., 2007), cumulative global hypoxic zones (dotted line, data starting
in the early 1900's with a general upward trend; Diaz and Rosenberg, 2008), and global mariculture
production (dotted line, data starting around 1950 with an upward trend; FAO U.N., 2010). All time series
in (b) are normalized to 1980 levels. Trends with <1.5-fold variation are depicted as solid lines (left axis),
and trends with >1.5-fold variation are depicted as dotted lines (right axis) (Source: Doney et al., 2012).

Figure 1-3 Imapcts of Climate Change on Marine Ecosystems. This table is intended to provide illustrative examples of how climate change is currently affecting U.S. ecosystems, the species they
support, and the resulting impacts on ocean services. It is not intended to be comprehensive or to
provide any ranking or prioritization. Black arrows represent impacts driven by climate change either
directly or indirectly. Gray arrows represent countering effects of various adaptation efforts. n indicates where climate change is predicted to increase the incidence or magnitude of that attribute and '
indicates attributes where the impact of climate change on that attribute is variable.

Figure 1- 4 Summary of climate-dependent changes in the California Current. Observed physical changes include surface warming, strengthened stratification, and a deepening thermocline that is superimposed on strengthened upwelling wind stress and resultant increases in coastal and curl-driven upwelling. Long-term declines in dissolved oxygen have resulted in intensification of shelf hypoxia and
vertical displacement of the hypoxia horizon, which reduces the habitat for certain oxygen-sensitive
demersal fish species and increases the inorganic carbon burden and potential for N2O flux. The surface
inorganic carbon load has also increased because of anthropogenic CO2 uptake. Time series from the
past two to three decades indicate increasing trends in phytoplankton biomass; longer time series for
zooplankton indicate decreasing biovolumes over the past six decades as well as shifts toward an earlier
and narrower window of peak abundance. Increases in oceanic larval fish have been observed as have
declines in salmon and rockfish productivity. Seabirds have experienced more variable and, in some cases, declining breeding success. Distributional shifts toward species with subtropical or southern ranges
that are warmer and away from species with subarctic or northern ranges that are cooler have been
evident in intertidal invertebrate, zooplankton, and seabird communities (Source: Doney et al., 2012).

Ocean sea surface temperature
The oceans play a dominant role in the Earth’s climate system through storage and
transport of heat (Levitus et al., 2009). Observed temperature increases are uneven
around the globe and both gains and losses in sea surface temperatures are governed
by atmospheric and oceanic processes. Dominant atmospheric factors driving ocean

Figure 2-6 As CO2 is absorbed by the atmosphere it bonds with sea-water to form carbonic acid. This
acid then releases a bicarbonate ion and a hydrogen ion. The hydrogen ion bonds with free carbonate
ions in the water to form another bicarbonate ion. This free carbonate would otherwise be available to
marine animals for making calcium carbonate shells and skeletons. (Source: NOAA).

OCEANS AND MARINE RESOURCES IN A CHANGING CLIMATE
Exposure to toxicants
Toxicants are poisonous substances that can be produced by organisms (i.e., biotoxins),
released from geologic stores such as heavy metals and some hydrocarbons, or result
from a variety of anthropogenic sources such as persistent organic pollutants, petroleum

The ocean economy, the portion of the economy that relies directly on ocean attributes, in 2000 contributed more than $117 billion to American prosperity and
supported well over two million jobs. Roughly three quarters of the jobs and half
the economic value were produced by ocean-related tourism and recreation (Figure
4-1). For comparison, ocean-related employment was almost 1½ times larger than
agricultural employment in 2000, and total economic output was 2 ½ times larger
than that of the farm sector. (ǰȱŘŖŖŚǰȱ™ŠŽȱřŗǼ

guideline harvest level in metric tons (mt), ‘Biomass’ is current biomass estimate, ‘Cutoff’ is the
lowest level of estimated biomass at which harvest is allowed (150,000 mt), and ‘Fraction (SST)’ is
the environmentally-based percentage of biomass above the cutoff that can be harvested (Source:
M. Dalton, pers. comm.).

Figure 4-2 The number of days in which oil exploration
activities on the tundra are allowed under the Alaska
Department of Natural Resources standards has halved

is disrupting transportation; damaging buildings and
assets particularly pipelines; and increasing the risk of
pollution. Operational costs are increasing for oil and
gas companies (ACIA, 2004)

Our increasing understanding of climate change is transforming how we view the
boundaries and determinants of human health. While our personal health may seem
to relate mostly to prudent behavior, heredity, occupation, local environmental exposures, and health-care access, sustained population health requires the life-supporting
“services” of the biosphere. Populations of all animal species depend on supplies of
food and water, freedom from excess infectious disease, and the physical safety and
comfort conferred by climatic stability. The world’s climate system is fundamental to
this life-support. (McMichael et al., 2003, page 2)

Figure A-4 Pacific sardine harvest-control rule implements a decreasing exploitation fraction in cool
years based on a 3-year moving average of sea surface temperatures (SST) at Scripps Pier, San Diego,
California. ‘Harvest’ is the guideline harvest level in metric tons (mt), ‘Biomass’ is current biomass
estimate, ‘Cutoff’ is the lowest level of estimated biomass at which harvest is allowed (150,000 mt),
and ‘Fraction (SST)’ is the environmentally-based percentage of biomass above the cutoff that can be
harvested (Source: M. Dalton, pers. comm.).

Figure A-5 The expected changes in the
harvestable biomass and distribution of the
northern Pacific sardine stock due to climate
change. The harvestable biomass increases
(lower left to upper right) and decreases
(upper right to lower left, heavy arrows)
depending on the duration of favorable
climate conditions. The vertical lines show
which fisheries become involved as the
harvestable biomass increases and declines:
left, at lowest harvestable biomass, is a
Mexican (Mex)-only fishery; middle left is
Mex and California (CA) fisheries; middle
right is Mex, CA, Oregon (OR), Washington
(WA) and Canadian (Can) fisheries; and
the far right is Mex, CA, OR, WA, Can and
