'The surface waters of the SES exhibit significant warming from 1982, and most CBS  show significant warming since 1950. Warming of the Mediterranean has led to the recent spread of tropical species invading from the Atlantic and Indian oceans.' 'SES are highly vulnerable to changes in global temperature on account of their small  volume and landlocked nature. Consequently, SES will respond faster than most other parts of the ocean .' 'The impact of rising temperatures on SES is exacerbated by their vulnerability to other human influences such as over-exploitation, pollution and enhanced runoff from modified coastlines. Due to a mixture of global and local human stressors, key fisheries have undergone fundamental changes in their abundance and distribution over the past 50 years .'
