Oxygen is decreasing in the sea, pollution on the surface has increased 6 in 64 years; these countries will suffer huge losses due to acidic water

Due to climate change, there is a lack of oxygen in the sea. Its water is continuously becoming acidic, due to which the temperature on the surface of the sea is increasing rapidly. Due to the lack of oxygen in the sea, a big danger has arisen for the creatures of the ocean, fishermen, and the people living in the coastal areas. Due to this, the centers of fish production will also change.

Climate change has resulted in a lack of oxygen in the oceans. Its water is getting increasingly acidic, causing the temperature at the sea's surface to rise significantly. The shortage of oxygen in the sea has posed a significant risk to aquatic species, fishermen, and coastal residents. According to reports, this will cause fish production centers to shift.

Seeing all this, Zol Wang, a researcher at Zurich University in Switzerland, has expressed fear about Japan and China. He said, there will be a shortage of fish in the coastal areas of many countries like Japan and China. Due to rising temperatures, fish will migrate permanently to the sea. One reason for this is also human activities, burning of forests at many places, heaps of garbage have increased the heat. Researcher Jol Wang further says, if this continues, it will be difficult to handle the coming situation. The condition of the sea is getting very bad in 20 percent of the earth.

Earlier, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) had also issued a warning on the lack of oxygen. He said that 700 places have been identified around the world where the amount of oxygen is low. Earlier, in 1960, there were only 45 such places where there is a lack of oxygen. Then gradually the number of such places has increased four times. According to research, now it has become 6 times more than in 1960. Where there is no oxygen at all. Marine organisms are facing hot temperatures, excessive fishing and plastic pollution.
