Credit: PixaobayCoastal upwelling regions along the eastern boundaries of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are recognized as highly productive and biodiverse areas in the world's oceans. The movement of near-surface water away from the coast, driven by equatorward winds, leads to the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water from the depths. This process stimulates the...
