Movie ID Title
This animation represents nearly a decade's worth of data taken by the SeaWiFS instrument, showing the abundance of life in the sea in and around the Costa Rica Dome. Dark blue represents warmer areas where there is little life due to lack of nutrients, and greens and reds represent cooler nutrient-rich areas. 3544 Biosphere Data Around the Costa Rica Dome (Land Masked)

This animation shows the first six years worth of biosphere data taken by the SeaWiFS instrument. On land, areas of high plant life are shown in dark green, while areas of low plant life are shown in tan. In the ocean, areas of high phytoplankton are shown in red, and areas of lowest phytoplankton are shown in blue and purple. 2914 Global Biosphere from August, 1997 to July, 2003 (WMS)
SeaWiFS recorded the recovery of ocean life around the Galapagos Islands during May, 1998. 2913 Life Returns to the Galapagos after El Nino (WMS)

Dead zones are areas of water so devoid of oxygen that sea life cannot live there. If phytoplankton productivity is enhanced by fertilizers or other nutrients, more organic matter is produced at the surface of the ocean. The organic matter sinks to the bottom, where bacteria break it down and release carbon dioxide. Bacteria thrives off excessive organic matter and absorb oxygen, the same oxygen that fish, crabs and other sea creatures rely on for life. 10056 Dead Zones
