Deoxygenation poses severe risks to aquatic ecosystems and human activities dependent on these water bodies. Hypoxic conditions can lead to fish kills, loss of biodiversity, and disruptions in food webs. Economically, industries such as recreational fishing and tourism are adversely affected, as seen in Lake Erie. Additionally, the proliferation of harmful algal blooms under low oxygen conditions can compromise water quality, posing health risks to humans and animals. The study warns that without intervention, these impacts will likely intensify, threatening both ecological stability and economic livelihoods.
