The world's oceans are degenerating far faster than predicted and marine life is facing extinction due to a range of human impacts - from overfishing to climate change - a report compiled by international scientists warned. The cumulative impact of "severe individual stresses," ranging from climate warming and sea-water acidification to widespread chemical pollution and overfishing, would threaten the marine environment with a catastrophe "unprecedented in human history."
