Summary:
Scientists have reported in a new study a first-of-its-kind approach for predicting where coastal “dead” zones are likely to appear around the globe. These low-oxygen zones, which can harm fish, other marine animals and humans, result from human activities on land as well as oceanic conditions.Content analysis:
