Marine species move, drift, and disperse in ways we can’t always see—from larvae caught in currents to fish seeking cooler waters. But as the ocean warms, these movements are changing.

In this video, we explore how MPA Europe is modelling marine connectivity and climate change across European seas. Using 21 years of ocean current data and species life histories, scientists are simulating how eggs, larvae, and plankton drift today—and how this might shift in the future.

We show how climate velocity affects species survival and relocation, and how some areas could act as climate refugia.
This research is vital to designing future-proof networks of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) that support biodiversity now and under climate change scenarios.
