Zones of Death Are Spreading in Oceans Due to Global Warming. By Jonathan Leake, London Times, May 18, 2008. "Marine dead zones, where fish and other sea life can suffocate from lack of oxygen, are spreading across the world's tropical oceans, a study has warned. Researchers found that the warming of sea water through climate change is reducing its ability to carry dissolved oxygen, potentially turning swathes of the world's oceans into marine graveyards. The study, by scientists from some of the world's most prestigious marine research institutes, warns that if global temperatures keep rising there could be 'dramatic consequences' for marine life and for humans in communities that depend on the sea for a living."
