It's the size of Florida. Dead zones are areas of the ocean with low oxygen that can no longer support marine life. It's caused by warming oceans and agricultural runoff. "The ocean is suffocating ...
Scientists are gaining new insights into how plankton supports life on Earth — just as climate change is changing everything.
When the oxygen levels go down, dead zones will expand. These are areas of the ocean where the water quality is too poor to sustain life. Pollution will only add to the devastation unless we stop it.
