What are the most significant impacts of climate change and pollution on the world's oceans, and how do these affect human populations?

The world's oceans, home to 90% of habitable space and 250,000 cataloged species, face severe threats. Marine ecosystems provide essential services, yet climate change causes coral bleaching (25% loss globally) and microplastic pollution (to increase fourfold in 25 years). This directly impacts the 40% of the human population living within 100km of the coast.
