Ocean Life in Trouble: The amount of low-oxygen marine areas has doubled every decade since the 1960s, creating dead zones where very little marine life can survive. A new study finds that warming waters, seasonal shift, sea level rise, and other components of climate change have been contributing much more to this phenomenon than previously thought.
