El Niño may trigger coral bleaching, hit fish catch: INCOIS
The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) warns that the developing El Niño phenomenon could lead to coral bleaching and reduced fish catches in the Indian Ocean through 2027. The institute has begun issuing specialized bulletins to help maritime sectors prepare for these environmental shifts.
Why it matters
Climate-driven changes in ocean temperatures pose significant risks to food security and the livelihoods of coastal communities dependent on fishing.
The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), in a special bulletin, stated that the El Niño phenomenon — characterised by the warming of sea surface temperatures in the central and equatorial Pacific Ocean and known to influence the Indian monsoon — is continuing to develop and is expected to peak between November 2026 and January 2027.
