Oceans can absorb up to 93% of the planet’s greenhouse gas heat. This has a major impact on the lives of thermoplastic species such as sharks, as they capitalize on the environment to regulate their body temperature.
“Climate change causes the ocean to heat up, and the effect is gradually spreading to the North.” – Burgess said. This means that sharks are also moving further up the north.
According to a study from 2018 published in Scientific Reports, predatory sharks such as bull sharks are now more extensive in the North, including waters in North Carolina.
