Oceans in Crisis

The Rise of Slime

 

Dr. Jeremy Jackson

Scripps Institution of Oceanography

 

A multitude of factors are creating a dramatic change in the very nature of ocean life. With the demise of large fish species, and the addition of nutrients from fertilizer and other sources, vast stretches of ocean shoreline are filling with ever more frequent dead zones, where slime concoctions of algae and bacteria thrive.  Some look at this as the devolution of life on earth.
