NASA's Imaging Technology Reveals Ocean Dead Zones
Lacking oxygen, and therefore devoid of life, the existence of ocean dead zones is a phenomena on a large list of global level changes. The balance of this planet is delicate, and while there are thousands of ecosystems throughout the earth, they all depend on water. If our oceans are not protected, there is nothing left to protect ourselves.
Phytoplankton, very small organisms that metabolize via energy from the sun are a crucial part of the balance of life in our oceans. The measure of phytoplankton is an important indicator in identifiying ocean dead zones. Through satellite imaging, NASA has developed a system that can monitor current levels anywhere on earth within hours.
