The world’s coastal regions have always been an extreme environment in which to raise a family, but warming seas are exacerbating the challenges of parenthood. From hurricanes hitting flamingo colonies and little anole lizards to winter storms threatening sea otters and bleaching destroying clownfish homes, coastal wildlife faces growing challenges. As these events become more frequent and intense, raising the next generation is becoming ever more difficult.
