Gothenburg [Sweden], September 20 (ANI): Planning is necessary to promote the sustainable development of marine habitats, just as there has long been spatial planning for operations on land. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg and other institutions are now demonstrating that marine planning must take climate change into account, which it does not at the moment. According to the researchers' calculations, temperature and salt content changes may affect ecosystems and species more than all other environmental factors combined.
