The most in-depth study conducted on the subject so far points at dangerous developments. It's now getting increasingly clear that climate change is burdening our oceans, that absorb more than 30% of carbon produced on land, the most. This study, carried out at Geomar Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Germany, found that ocean oxygen levels had fallen by 2% in 50 years.
This depletion of oxygen in our oceans in our oceans threatens future fish stocks and risks altering the habitat and behaviour of marine life, reports the Guardian.
