TLDR
It is shown that despite the fact that 71% of the world's coastlines are significantly warming, rates of change have been highly heterogeneous both spatially and seasonally, which makes it possible to analyse local patterns within the global context.
Abstract
A detailed assessment of near-shore temperature changes is needed for improved forecasts of the consequences of coastal warming. Here, changes in coastal sea surface temperature are estimated, showing that although 71% of the world's coastlines are warming, the rates of change have varied spatially.

An extreme climatic event alters marine ecosystem structure in a global biodiversity hotspot

TL;DR: In 2011, the waters along the west coast of Australia experienced an unprecedented (in recorded times) warming event with warming anomalies of 2-4°C that persisted for more than ten weeks.

Global patterns of kelp forest change over the past half-century

TL;DR: Although global drivers could be affecting kelp forests at multiple scales, local stressors and regional variation in the effects of these drivers dominate kelp dynamics, in contrast to many other marine and terrestrial foundation species.

Identification of global marine hotspots: sentinels for change and vanguards for adaptation action

TL;DR: Intensive study and development of comprehensive inter-disciplinary networks based on the hotspot regions identified here will allow earliest testing of management and adaptation pathways, facilitating rapid global learning and implementation of adaptation options to cope with future change.

Emerging Vibrio risk at high latitudes in response to ocean warming

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multidecadal long-term sea surface temperature data sets and found that the Baltic Sea is warming at an unprecedented rate, with recent peak temperatures unequalled in the history of instrumented measurements for this region.

The value of the world's ecosystem services and natural capital

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have estimated the current economic value of 17 ecosystem services for 16 biomes, based on published studies and a few original calculations, for the entire biosphere, the value (most of which is outside the market) is estimated to be in the range of US$16-54 trillion (10^(12)) per year, with an average of US $33 trillion per year.

A Pacific interdecadal climate oscillation with impacts on salmon production

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a robust, recurring pattern of ocean-atmosphere climate variability centered over the midlatitude North Pacific basin over the past century, the amplitude of this climate pattern has varied irregularly at interannual-to-interdecadal timescales.
