English term

coal miner's canary

English to Croatian Other Mining & Minerals / Gems
The MTP's final workshop in Perpignan demonstrated that climate change affects marine productivity. Future climatic changes can thus have a profound influence on ocean productivity and the sensitivity of the Mediterranean - a kind of "coal-miner's canary" for the world's oceans - could allow these to be predicted.

evo dodatnog pojašnjenja:
"Today, the expression “canary in a coal mine” is used to refer to something that indicates a warning, a sign to take notice of a negative change that has taken place"
