Figure 1- 4 Summary of climate-dependent changes in the California Current. Observed physical chang- es include surface warming, strengthened stratification, and a deepening thermocline that is super- imposed on strengthened upwelling wind stress and resultant increases in coastal and curl-driven up- welling. 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 cas- es, 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).

The ocean economy, the portion of the economy that relies directly on ocean at- tributes, 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. (ǰȱŘŖŖŚǰȱȱřŗǼ

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 expo- sures, 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)
