Revitalizing Ocean Dead Zones: Exploring the Impact of Distributed Water Fountains on Climate and Ecosystems
Modeling & Prediction1. Understanding Ocean Dead Zones Ocean dead zones, also known as hypoxic zones, are areas of the ocean where oxygen levels are extremely low or completely depleted. These zones are caused primarily by excessive nutrient pollution, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, from human activities such as agriculture and sewage disposal. As a result, the excess
