Pacific Ocean is losing oxygen, but unevenly
Original: The Pacific Ocean is losing oxygen, but not everywhere in the same way
New research indicates that oxygen levels in the Pacific Ocean are declining, but the loss is not happening uniformly across the basin. Some regions are losing dissolved oxygen faster than others, which matters for marine life, since low-oxygen zones can force fish and other species to relocate or die off. Scientists say understanding these regional differences is key to predicting how ocean ecosystems will respond as warming continues.
Why now: New findings on uneven oxygen loss in the Pacific highlight concerns about climate change and marine ecosystems.
