#Deoxygenation is increasing in the coastal and open Ocean, primarily due to human-induced #globalwarming and nutrient run-off from land, and projections show that the Ocean will continue losing oxygen as global warming continues.

Ocean oxygen: The role of the Ocean in the oxygen we breathe and the threat of deoxygenation
EMB Future Science Brief No. 10 highlights the most recent science on Ocean oxygen, including causes, impacts and mitigation strategies of Ocean oxygen loss, and whether “every second breath we take comes from the Ocean”. It closes with key policy, management and research recommendations to address Ocean deoxygenation and communicate more accurately about the role of the Ocean in Earth’s oxygen.
