Waiting to Inhale: Deep-Ocean Low-Oxygen Zones Spreading to Shallower Coastal Waters <<>>
Written by Scientific American Topic - Stress on February 23, 2010 – 9:30 pm -A bother of oxygen-deprived waters from the trivial plethora is creeping up to the continental shelves off the Pacific Northwest and forcing aquatic species there to relocate or die. Since 2002 tongues of hypoxic, or low-oxygen , waters from deeper areas offshore hold slipped into shallower near-shore environments off the Oregon coast, although not thorough passably to be oxygenated by the waves. The problem stems from oxygen reduction in slight water, a happening that some scientists are observing in oceans worldwide, and that may be related to clime novelty.
