New Map| Fishkills linked to HABs worldwide as of 2006 http://www.grid.unep.ch/intranet/search/dataset_show.php?dataid=1C231533 2008-06-1300:00:00 +0200 Harmful algal blooms can result in extensive fishkills. For example, during the night of 19-20 August 2003, millions of young menhaden were killed on the west shore of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island USA, probably because of oxygen depletion resulting from an algal bloom. The map shows the location w ...

Many are seasonal, but some of the low-oxygen areas persist year-round. More than 100 000 km2 of marginal sea are affected, plus numerous bays and estuaries which are the most altered(1, 3). The world’s largest dead zone is fou ... New Report| Africa: Atlas of our changing environment http://www.grid.unep.ch/intranet/search/dataset_show.php?dataid=2C47705 2008-06-1600:00:00 +0200 ...
