Ocean deoxygenation impacts on sharks
GSMP scientists contribute to major IUCN Report
Loss of ocean oxygen is increasingly disrupting ecosystems and threatening top predators such as sharks, tuna and billfish. Climate change is the major driver and a major new report by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) explains the causes, impacts and solutions to this growing problem.
GSMP scientists have contributed research results and authorship to this major report.
