What is Decline in Indian Ocean Phytoplankton about?
The study reveals a significant reduction of up to 20% in marine phytoplankton in the Indian Ocean over the past six decades, primarily driven by rapid warming and enhanced ocean stratification. This decline in marine productivity poses risks to ecological balance and the fishing industry, particularly affecting tuna populations that rely on phytoplankton. Future climate projections indicate continued warming, which may exacerbate these trends, leading to an ecological desert in this vital marine region.
