'Dead zone' larger than Scotland found by underwater robots in Arabian sea
An underwater “dead zone” larger than the area of Scotland has been discovered by robots exploring the Arabian Sea.
Scientists say the situation is “worse than feared” after finding almost no oxygen in the Gulf of Oman, the strait that connects the Arabian Sea to the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East.
The region, which is almost totally devoid of life, has been described as the “largest and thickest dead zone in the world” and a “disaster waiting to happen”.
