‘In an alarming discovery, marine biologists said they’ve confirmed the existence
of “dead zones” in the open ocean for the first time.

Dead zones are areas where deep water is so lacking in dissolved oxygen that marine
creatures can’t survive.

Dead zones are normally found along inhabited coastal areas, with many located off the
eastern and southern coasts of the United States and the Baltic Sea. Most of these
coastal dead zones are caused by fertilizer run-offs and man-made pollution that trigger
massive algal blooms.’

German and Canadian researchers discovered the first deep ocean dead zones less
than 100 kilometers from the Cape Verde archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean off West
Africa in huge whirlpools moving along the Atlantic.They said the slowly moving
whirlpools could trigger massive fish kills and economic ruin among Western African
countries.

"It is not unlikely that an open-ocean dead zone will hit the (Cape Verde) islands at
some point," said Dr. Johannes Karstensen of the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean
Research Kiel and lead author of the study published in the journal, Biogeosciences.


Dr. Karstensen explained the dead zones are located inside ocean whirlpools or spinning
cylinders of ocean and has a size of 150 kilometers across and several hundred meters
deep.The whirlpool or eddy was formed when a current along the West African coast
became unstable and was pushed slowly westward by the Earth's rotation, said
Weather.com.Dr. Karstensen said oxygen concentrations in the dead zone are up to 20
times lower than the previously recorded minimums in the North Atlantic, making the
areas uninhabitable to all marine life other than a few microorganisms.

Coastal dead zones are formed when bacteria consume the oxygen as they eat dead
algae sinking towards the sea floor. Dr Karstensen said the deep ocean zones appear to
be operating in a similar manner.The alarming discovery of the first open ocean dead
zone is increasing concerns warming oceans might trigger an increase in the more than
400 known dead zones worldwide.The size and number of marine dead zones have
grown explosively over the past half-century.

Not much can survive in a "dead zone." These aquatic areas have such a low
concentrations of oxygen that marine life either dies or leaves.

Many of these lifeless areas crop up near coastlines, where people live and hazardous
chemicals make their way into the water. Now, a group of German and Canadian
researchers have discovered dead zones in the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean, which
they say is a first. They observed the area for seven years and published their findings
Thursday in the journal Biogeosciences.

It is a very serious problem.

Dead Zones are areas in both water and air that do not contain enough Oxygen for the species in question, and so, they all die, rapidly.

Dead Zones have been increasing in both frequency and severity since first being coined in the year 2000.

can we say - Fukushima ... the ocean suffers from the radioactive water they have been spewing into it since March 2011 ... three reactors were total meltdowns , and now the ocean life dies ... the Earth suffers shifts within , and volcanoes are active ... three nuclear cores working their way to the mantle ... something big is affecting inner Earth , I remember the loud booms heard around the nation ...could it be all the tunneling ???
