Abstract
Introduction: Ocean systems such as currents, chemistries, ice formation, and temperature are undergoing rapid change. The systems are interictally connected to each other. Each system feeds off each other, resulting in rapid exponential change. This has led to unexpected weather events, unusual algal blooms, and coastal habitat loss. Climate change resulting in temperature rise is leading to ice melts which in turn is affecting currents that redistribute nutrient loads. All life-forms, including humankind, are ill equipped to deal with these various rapid oscillations. The following chapters will explore the relationship of these changes and the possible impact on human health that they may have.
