Ocean fronts act as hotspots for marine biodiversity and play an important role in regulating the Earth’s climate. As the oceans get warmer with climate change, the location, number and intensity of ocean fronts may change. This could have far-reaching implications for the climate system, marine ecosystems and global fisheries.
