«What complicates this story is that if these animals are responsible for a chunk
of oxygen depletion in general, then a change in their habits might have a feedback in terms
of oxygen levels in other parts
of the deeper ocean.»
«Significant environmental changes, such as sea
level and sea temperature rise,
oxygen depletion and ocean acidification, will dramatically change the landscape, restructuring an array
of natural and physical assets as well as cultural and economic,» said Judith Kidlow
of the National Ocean Economics Program.
