Short summary
The northeastern Atlantic and adjacent seas are warming and acidifying at rates exceeding the global average, with rising sea levels and record severe marine heatwaves. These changes threaten marine ecosystems, biodiversity, cultural heritage, and key economic sectors that depend on a healthy ocean. This ocean narrative emphasizes the importance of regional ocean indicators, tailored local action, and stronger knowledge transfer between science and policy to support informed decisions.
