The loss of oxygen from the ocean due to climate change risks

“dire effects” on sea life, fisheries and coastal communities, a global conservation body said Saturday.

The ocean absorbs around a quarter of all fossil fuel emissions, but as global energy demand continues to grow there are fears that the world’s seas will eventually reach saturation point.However, most of that loss is predicted to be in the upper 1,000 meters, that is the richest part of the ocean for biodiversity.

But loss of oxygen is affecting species across the food chain. The biomes that support around a fifth of the world’s current fish catch are formed by ocean currents that bring oxygen-poor water in to coastlines.“Impacts here will ultimately ripple out and affect hundreds of millions of people,” the IUCN said.
