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 ...

More specifically, the tropics. Dead zones are low-oxygen regions in the ocean where few sea life can survive. The main cause is human pollution. Until now, dead zones were thought to dominate ...

According to the organization, the fish is a so-called “black seadevil” known by its scientific name Melanocetus johnsonii. They typically swim between 650 and 6,500 feet below the ocean’s surface.

A West Virginia University researcher is working to understand and estimate environmental cleanup costs associated with ...

“What can happen is it fertilizes an extra algal bloom, which rains down into the deeper ocean where it will be degraded,” ...

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.

Climate warming and nutrient pollution have reduced oxygen concentrations in the ocean by more than 2% since the 1960s. As a result, naturally occurring low-oxygen zones (also known as “dead zones”) ...

Having set off on such a deep dive, the Titan may well currently be in an area of the ocean known as the ‘midnight’ zone. At this sea depth, which is also known as the bathypelagic zone ...
