Marine Migration

The peer-reviewed article The Coming Invasion, by Geerat J. VermIj and Peither D. Roopnarine, claims that as the climate becomes warmer due to global warming, mollusks and other marine species will migrate to the Atlantic Ocean through the Bering Strait. There are many mollusks that thrive in the Pacific Ocean. I am sure that if they did migrate to the Atlantic, it would have a very large effect on the ecosystem. Mollusks have potential to cause other species in the Atlantic to go extinct. Because all native species play important roles in specie interactions and well-being, this migration could potentially be devastating to the current ecosystem.
I do not know enough about ecosystems to predict exactly what would happen if these marine species did migrate, but I do know that they would cause a large amount of change in the Atlantic Ocean, and probably other ecosystems also. These changes are likely to be bad ones. The ocean covers most of the earth and affects everything. If there is a substantial change in a ocean, it could lead to devastating changes in ecosystems everywhere. Why take the risk? I think that the ocean is functioning quite nicely right now, and I don’t want it to change. Everyone needs to take the steps necessary to prevent further global warming.
