Rebecca Johnson: 我带大家来到我最喜欢的潮间带岩礁——柱点礁，这里拥有令人惊叹的生物多样性。每当退潮时，我总喜欢来这里观察各种无脊椎动物和海藻。然而，近年来，我开始注意到一些变化，比如粉红色海蛞蝓数量的异常增多，以及海星的大量死亡。这些变化让我开始担心潮汐池生态系统的未来，特别是气候变化和海洋热浪的影响。虽然一些海星物种已经恢复，但其他物种仍然面临威胁。我希望通过我的研究和社区科学项目，能够更好地了解这些变化，并为保护这些珍贵的生态系统做出贡献。 Peter Roopnarine: 作为一名古生物学家，我研究古代生态系统如何受到气候变化等因素的影响。研究表明，生态系统可以持续数百万年，但最终也会因重大事件而终结。我担心我们现在可能正面临着某些生态系统走向终结的风险。尽管如此，我们仍然可以在受损的生态系统中找到美丽，并从中获得启发。重要的是，我们要认真思考如何保护这些我们珍视的生态系统，并为之付出努力。
