Abstract

Marine ecosystems are experiencing unprecedented challenges due to global change, which encompasses climate change, ocean acidification, and pollution. These global changes pose new and complex problems in the field of marine ecotoxicology. This dissertation aims to explore the emerging issues and research gaps in marine ecotoxicology within the context of global change. It examines the impacts of global change on marine organisms, evaluates the interactions between different stressors, and discusses the implications for ecosystem health and human well-being. The findings from this dissertation contribute to our understanding of the multifaceted challenges faced by marine ecosystems and provide a foundation for effective mitigation strategies and policies. Global change, which encompasses various interconnected phenomena such as climate change, ocean acidification, and pollution, is significantly impacting marine ecosystems. These changes pose numerous challenges and have far-reaching consequences for the health and functioning of marine ecosystems.
