Study Warns Deadly , Ocean Upswells Increasing , Due to Climate Crisis.<br/>'The Guardian' reports that a new study highlights how <br/>the climate-disrupted ocean has pushed a number of aquatic <br/>species to flee increasing temperatures in the tropics.<br/>The forced migration has increasingly resulted in <br/>sharks, rays and other species dying amid intense <br/>upswells of cold water from the depths of the ocean.<br/>In 2021, extreme cold upswelling off of <br/>South Africa's coast caused a mass die-off of over <br/>260 marine organisms from 81 different species.<br/>A recent study found that these <br/>upswellings are increasing in <br/>both frequency and intensity. .<br/>Scientists were able to study the 2021 <br/>mass die-off in precise detail, due to one of <br/>the victims being a satellite-tagged bull shark.<br/>The bull shark died in waters 10 degrees <br/>Celsius below the temperature <br/>tropical species are accustomed to.<br/>Despite the shark's attempts to avoid the <br/>cold swell, it could not escape the impacted <br/>area before succumbing to hypothermia.<br/>'The Guardian' reports that the team found <br/>that the frequency of these cold upswelling <br/>events has been increasing since 1981.<br/>Other species killed in similar events <br/>include whale sharks, bigeye trevallies, convict <br/>surgeonfish and the common blacktip shark. .<br/>Other species killed in similar events <br/>include whale sharks, bigeye trevallies, convict <br/>surgeonfish and the common blacktip shark. .<br/>Other species killed in similar events <br/>include whale sharks, bigeye trevallies, convict <br/>surgeonfish and the common blacktip shark. .<br/>Other species killed in similar events <br/>include whale sharks, bigeye trevallies, convict <br/>surgeonfish and the common blacktip shark. .<br/>The team's findings were published <br/>on April 15 in 'Nature Climate Change.'
