Marine Heat Wave
Why in news?
Researchers found that marine heat waves (MHWs) deep in oceans may be “significantly under-reported” and caused by ocean currents.
About Marine Heat Wave:
- A marine heat wave is an extreme weather event.
- It occurs when the surface temperature of a particular region of the sea rises to 3 or 4 degree Celsius above the average temperature for at least five days.
- MHWs can last for weeks, months or even years, according to the US government’s agency National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
- Impacts
- MHWs are prolonged temperature events that can cause severe damage to marine habitats, such as impacts to coral reefs and species displacement.
- These events are becoming more frequent due to global warming, with notable occurrences off Australia's East Coast and Tasmania, as well as the northeast Pacific coast and North Atlantic.
- Higher ocean temperatures, which are associated with MHWs, can make storms like hurricanes and tropical cyclones stronger.
- MHWs also fuel the growth of invasive alien species, which can be destructive to marine food webs.
- When storms travel across hot oceans, they gather more water vapour and heat.
- This results in more powerful winds, heavier rainfall and more flooding when storms reach the land — meaning heightened devastation for humans.

- Starch is an example of a biopolymer. It is frequently used since it is affordable, renewable, and biodegradable.
- Gelatin is an example of a biopolymer.
- Its primary job is maintaining connective tissues like cartilage, tendons, and bones.

Based on origin, they are classified as follows:
Natural biopolymers:
- These are the biopolymers that are naturally produced by living organisms.
Synthetic biopolymers:
- These are man-made biopolymers not naturally synthesized and are produced from renewable sources such as polylactic acid.
Microbial biopolymers:
- Different microorganisms synthesize these biopolymers, including molds, yeast, and bacteria genera, synthesize these biopolymers

Advantages of biopolymers:
1. Biopolymers are carbon-neutral and compostable substances, meaning there is less chance of environmental pollution.
2. They are composed of living organisms, so they are sustainable.
3. They are used in pharmaceutical companies for controlled drug delivery systems.
4. They are non-toxic, less expensive, and more easily available from renewable sources than synthetic polymers.

Disadvantages of biopolymers:
1. They are non-renewable.
2. They lead to the contamination of foodstuffs.
3. They have low chemical and physical resistance.
4. They can cause environmental pollution if they do not decompose properly.

Applications:
- Bio polymers like polylactic acid, polyglycolate , poly 3-hydroxy butyrate etc. may show plastic properties and instead.

Consider the following statements:
1. Biofilms can form on medical implants within human tissues.
2. Biofilms can form on food and food processing surfaces.
3. Biofilms can exhibit antibiotic resistance.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
(a) 1 and 2 only
(b) 2 and 3 only
(c) 1 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
