Global Dead Zones
Global Ocean Oxygen Network
Based on the finding of UNESCO’s Global Ocean Oxygen Network (GO2NE), related to deoxygenation of open ocean and coastal waters.
Coastal Zones
The Baltic Sea has one of the largest coastal water hypoxic zones in the world. In 2011 the area of water with dissolved oxygen concentration < 2 mg/L was nearly 80,000 km2.
Coastal Zones
Over 500 coastal water bodies now report dissolved oxygen concentrations below 2mg/L.
Coastal Zones
Millenium Ecosystem Assessment released by the Uniter Nations in 2005 reported that the supply of nitrogen-contraining compounds input to the world’s oceans grew by 80 percent from 1860 to 1990.For individual coastal water bodies, the increase has been as high as 100 fold or more.
Coastal Zones
Coastal Zones
Coastal Zones
The use of synthetic fertilizers for the cultivation of nitrogen-fixing crops and increased emissions of NOX have all contributed to soaring levels of reactive nitrogen in the environment.
Coastal Zones
Upwelling of low oxygen water can cause massive fish kills but also brings nutrient-rich waters to the surface to fuel fisheries production.
Coastal Zones
Wastewater from sewage and agriculture adds excess phosphates and nitrogen which stimulate blooms of noxious and toxic algae in coastal ecosystems.
Excess algae growth decomposes with aerobic bacteria causing hypoxic (oxygen-depleted) Dead Zones leading to eutrophication causing animals to die.
Dead Zones result in biodiversity collapse, major economic losses for coastal fishing industries, and release of (NOX) nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 300x more powerful than CO2.
Dead Zones can be prevented by rejuvenating the natural filter-feeding bivalves which consume the algae blooms, improving water clarity and reducing nutrients preventing oxygen-deficient dead zones from forming along coastal regions, as well as providing a sustainable benefit to the fishing industry.
