Caribbean Jake February 26, 2007 Author Share February 26, 2007 To confirm this link to climate change, the researchers say they need another 10 to 15 years of data. Other work also needs to be done to see if there is a common link between the US dead zones and those seen elsewhere. what will be the results of waiting 15 years? I fear several marine species will be in greater decline by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
