When we do things in shallow water — like the seagrass meadows, which are only a few meters deep — we still put electronics underwater, but it is not too difficult. However, when you go to the ...

Seagrass meadows can die off rapidly when humans add too much nutrients into the ecosystem. ... and causes all the living things — grass, algae, fish — to consume oxygen more quickly.
