These include eastern boundary current upwelling systems such as those off the U.S. west coast along coastal California, Oregon and Washington, deep - sea and subsurface oxygen minimum zones, and coastal waters that are already experiencing excess nutrient levels (eutrophication) and low dissolved oxygen (hypoxia) due to human - driven nutrient pollution from land - based activities.

dana1981 - An additional part of that correction is that the deeper subsurface Antarctic waters are (relatively) warmer than surface waters, not colder as stated in the OP.
