The increase in seawater temperature affects marine ecosystems causing marine species to change their distribution and abundance. Such changes lead to alterations in community composition, often characterized by an increase in warm-affinity species over time, known as tropicalization of temperate seas. Monitoring programmes are useful for understanding the consequences of the ongoing transformations driven by ocean warming. In this study, underwater visual censuses (UVC) were conducted for fish and benthic communities at 24 stations of the Balearic Archipelago in 2022 and 2025. The comparison between both periods revealed an increase in the frequency of warm-affinity species, including the fishes Sparisoma cretense (Teleostea, Scaridae) and Caranx crysos (Teleostea, Carangidae); the invertebrates Telmatactis cricoides (Cnidaria, Actiniaria) and Hermodice carunculata (Annelida, Polychaeta, Amphinomidae) and the algae Penicillus capitatus (Chlorophyta, Ulvophyceae). Our findings highlight the importance of monitoring programmes to identify evidence of processes such as tropicalization and to provide timely information to respond to shifting marine ecosystems.This research is part of the project Monitoring of Marine Strategies, Assessment of the Marine Environment, and Definition of Good Environmental Status (ESMARES3), carried out by the IEO-CSIC within the framework of the Interdepartmental Collaboration Agreement between the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge and the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. The project is co-funded by the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund.Peer reviewedMultidisciplinary Digital Publishing InstituteEuropean CommissionAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (España)Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (España)CSIC - Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO)De la Ballina, Nuria R.
