Abstract
Climate change is a critical global issue that profoundly affects both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The impact of climate change on aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity is multifaceted, influencing water temperature, salinity, oxygen levels, and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as droughts and storms. These changes disrupt species composition, alter migration patterns, and impact ecosystem services, thereby threatening biodiversity. This paper explores the direct and indirect consequences of climate change on aquatic ecosystems, with a particular focus on freshwater and marine environments. Through an examination of current literature, this paper assesses the ways in which climate change affects the health, survival, and distribution of aquatic species. It also discusses the potential consequences for human populations reliant on these ecosystems for food, water, and recreation. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for integrated conservation strategies and global cooperation to mitigate these impacts.
