Rainbow sea slug sighting linked to climate change

Original: Rainbow sea slug find a reminder of climate change

A rainbow sea slug has been found in waters outside its usual Mediterranean range, a sighting experts say is a warning sign of warming seas. The colourful nudibranch's presence further north is being read as further evidence that marine species are shifting habitat as ocean temperatures rise, underlining the wider effects of climate change on coastal ecosystems.

Why now: The unusual sighting of a warm-water species in new waters highlights ongoing climate-driven changes in the ocean.
