An important topic, but can we at least have some mention of what we can do to improve oxygen levels in the oceans (aside from reducing the level of pollution, which is the obvious but slowest to implement solution). Surely there's something that could be done to tackle this in a more immediate manner? Are there plants within the ocean ecosystem that convert carbon dioxide to oxygen?
