According to a report from DCE – The National Center for the Environment and Energy, the oxygen depletion has already reached catastrophic proportions. They say, “What is happening below the surface of the ocean right now is a tragedy for the marine environment.” Why? High temperatures and calm wind conditions have historically created poor oxygen conditions for fish and plants.
- 7500 km2 of inland Danish waters are affected by oxygen depletion (an area the size of Zealand Region). Fish are moving away from these waters.
