Abstract: The aquatic environment will respond to climate changes in ways that are as equally significant as \nthe responses of the terrestrial and atmospheric environments. The changes may be more gradual and less \napparent than those taking place in the atmosphere, because of the ability of the oceans and large water \nbodies to absorb and distribute heat. Therefore, fluctuations about the mean temperature will tend to be \nsmaller than in the atmosphere. By the same token however, the aquatic ecology will be less tolerant to wide \ntemperature ranges than its terrestrial counterparts, and the rate at which natural habitat changes will challenge \nthe adaptive capacity of species.
