: Runoff from fertilizers and sewage causes massive algal blooms. When these algae die and decompose, the process consumes oxygen, creating "dead zones". Cultural Connection: Jean-Michel Jarre's Oxygène the process consumes oxygen

Ocean oxygen levels are currently declining due to two primary human-driven factors:

: Warmer water holds less oxygen and creates "stratification," which prevents oxygen-rich surface water from mixing into the deep sea.
