A new study by scientists says that the rising temperatures of the planet will change the colour of the world’s oceans.
The national study published in the journal Nature Communications says the oceans will become bluer because the increased heat will change the mixture of tiny marine organisms in the sea with phytoplankton which will absorb and reflect light.
Phytoplankton is a microscopic marine alga.
The study says this will occur in 50% of the world’s seas by 2100.
