Current hot topics in marine science include the impacts of climate change on ocean ecosystems, such as coral bleaching and rising sea levels, and the effects of plastic pollution on marine life. Additionally, there's a growing focus on the potential of marine renewable energy sources, like tidal and wave power, to contribute to sustainable energy solutions. A lot of these topics are things I discussed in my major projects throughout the semester to learn more about them.
