Southhampton -- British scientists say the water temperature of Kuwait Bay in the northern Arabian Gulf has increased three times faster than the global average since 1985.
Researcher Thamer al-Rashidi of Britain's National Oceanography Center, who led the study, said the higher water temperatures are having profound effects on key habitats and on power generation.
Al-Rashidi and his colleagues used data gathered by satellites from 1985 to 2007 to assess warming in Kuwait Bay and the Gulf region.
