If you have ever heard someone talk about a “dead zone” in the Gulf of America (formerly the Gulf of Mexico), you might wonder what that means. According to NOAA, ...

Many ocean carbon removal methods, like fertilization or biomass sinking, reduce oxygen levels and cause harm to marine ecosystems.

Iron is essential for the growth of microscopic phytoplankton in the ocean-the foundation of the aquatic food web. However, a new study led by ...

Scientists say going through with proposed ocean climate fixes could actually make things worse by lowering ocean oxygen ...
