Oceans Are Darkening Globally, Disrupting Life Beneath the Surface: Study
Deep sea mining for rare earth elements has become a focal point in the global search for minerals needed for clean energy technologies.
These resources are vital for the production of electric vehicle batteries, wind turbines and other green technologies. But research has shown that more than 20% of the world's oceans are turning black.
This is having a profound impact on the marine ecosystem and ecosystem, which is a matter of great concern. Not only marine organisms but rare earth materials are also being discovered in the ocean. Sunlight is very essential for marine species.
Due to which the essential process of photosynthesis done by phytoplankton is getting disrupted, which is important for marine food web and oxygen production.
Recently there has been a credible report which found that there are some chemical companies who are unable to dispose of their chemical waste and that is why they are dumping it in small rivers and ponds.
Which are unethically dissolving chemical waste in the oceans. This dangerous waste is very harmful to the climate ecosystem and life.
There have been several credible reports of chemical companies and other entities illegally dumping hazardous wastes into the sea and waterways across the world and also in India. Such activities are illegal, harmful to the environment and pose serious risks to marine life and human health.
Climate change has also increased the expansion of the ocean seafloor and disturbance of the sea floor, causing tornadoes and tsunamis. Carbon emissions are also a major factor.
Carbon dioxide emitted from trains, homes and factories is very helpful in climate change. In coastal areas, the increase of nutrients from agriculture and urban development causes algae blooms, which absorb more light and reduce water clarity.
There are also species in the ocean that depend on sunlight for food. There are also species that cannot tolerate excessive light and sun energy, living in the depths of the ocean. The maximum and minimum sunlight reaching the ocean is harmful to marine organisms and marine ecosystems. Phytoplankton are at the base of the marine food chain.
Phytoplankton play an important role in absorbing carbon dioxide. If they will not get sunlight then how will they be able to do photosynthesis and its lack will affect the marine food system and marine food chain and marine tropical level. If carbon dioxide will not be absorbed then there will be a lack of oxygen and due to lack of oxygen it can be harmful to the marine ecosystem and marine organisms and will have a negative impact on the ocean related businesses like fishing and aquaculture, marine vegetation, shellfish farming etc.
Artificial Intelligence is making its reach in every field. It is giving a lot of help and support for data cleaning, data backup, website performance, website monitoring, automation platform creation, marketing, digital marketing, defense, healthcare, education, entertainment, safety and security, Internet of Things etc.
Satellite data from NASA's satellite is being used to monitor the changes taking place in the ocean. With the help of artificial intelligence, garbage can be removed from the ocean with the help of drones and robotics. Monitoring can be done in the ocean with the help of artificial intelligence. With the help of Artificial Intelligence, marine ecosystem can be saved from algae blooms and harmful wastes.
