The oceans have experienced oxygen losses of around 2% since 1960 and, although that number is smaller, it represents a more geographically and volumetrically extensive mass. Marine ecosystems have also experienced substantial variability in oxygen depletion. For example, the midwaters off of Central California have lost 40% of their oxygen in the last few decades.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;If that holds true worldwide, and not just at a selection of measuring sites, it&amp;#x27;s a rapid and very concerning shift.  It&amp;#x27;ll be interesting to see if their measurements are corroborated.</text></comment>

The author is qualified and has produced a good deal of original and field research on the topic.&lt;p&gt;This is a good example of where just reacting to a bad or clickbait headline would be to your detriment. This actually is new information and bad news.</text></comment>
