Earth’s oceans are growing darker, threatening maritime life all over the world: study

Oceans around the globe have become darker over the past two decades, letting researchers be afraid of their marine residents, according to a new study.

Professor Thomas Davies of the University of Plymouth said in a study published on the Global Change Biology Journal has increasing concern for the marine ecosystem.

Satellite data from the NASA NASA website data portal showed that 21% of the planet’s oceans were darkened between 2003 and 2022.

According to Davies, most of the maritime life lives in the ocean photographic areas, which is where light and suffixes penetrate to stimulate photobiological processes.

The photo area, which is 200 meters deep, is where global nutrients and carbon budgets hold planetary fish markets.

This is the area where light reaches the maritime life that lives near the ocean surface.

These ocean residents rely on both the moonlight and the sunlight for hunting, pairing, reproduction and other important milestones.

The upper level of the ocean is where microscopic organisms and different types of plankton live.

With the onset of the oceans darken, it will cause creatures that rely on the light to begin to move by closing to the surface, potentially creating a lifestyle.

Using satellite data and a measure derived from the light attention algorithm before, Davis was able to mature how deep every photographic area was all over the world.

Among the darkest oceans, 9% of their photo areas were 50 meters more shallow, and 3% of the oceans’ photo areas were 100 meters shallow.

The reasoning after the darkening of the very offshore oceans is less clear.

Global warming and changes in the ocean current are thought to be included in this phenomenon, according to the study.

Despite a general darkness, about 10% of the oceans, or 37 million square kilometers, have become easier over the last 20 years, the study found.

She also found that most coastal areas have seen an increase in light.

However, the study found that this does not translate into a net decrease in the depth of the photo area near the coastline.

Davies predicts that the implications of ocean darkness can be severe for marine food nets, global fishing and carbon and nutrient budgets.
