THE FOLLOWING MAP SHOWS HOW MARINE DEAD ZONES ARE GLOBALLY DISTRIBUTED. MOREOVER, THE BAR CHART SHOWS THE DRAMATICALLY INCREASING NUMBER OF DEAD ZONES FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE PAST CENTURY TO THE PRESENT DAYS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF DEAD ZONES IS CONCENTRATED AROUND INDUSTRIAL AND RICH COUNTRIES SUCH AS THE USA, EUROPE AND JAPAN WHERE POLLUTION LEVELS ARE VERY HIGH AND FISHING IS BROUGHT TO AN EXCESSIVE EXTENT.

About marine, i ‘m going to speak about fishing . The fishing increase since 1960 and currently we have 10 million tons fishing.

ON THIS PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE IN DARK GREEN THE SPECIES WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN DISCOVERED. THIS IS COMPARED TO THE SPECIES WHICH YET HAVE TO BE DISCOVERED THAT ARE SHOWN IN LIGHT GREEN. ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE SPECIFIC DATA FROM WHICH THE CHART IS MADE.

• Not only does the melting of ice caps lead to a direct ecosystem loss, it also has, together with the melting of glaciers, an effect on the rise of the average sea level.
• Sea level rise impacts directly all those costal environments and ecosystems. Many islands would potentially disappear.

 As temperatures increase, Snow melts and and sea levels rise

The sea levels keep on rising due ice melt of our North and South pole glaciers

Over the last 200 years the temperatures in the North hemisphere have been considerably increasing

Important temperature increase for the last 200 years
