A new study revealed that loss of snow and ice on Earth’s highest mountain peaks could be driving dangerous shifts in the aquatic ecosystem of the Arabian sea. The Himalayas are considered as the driving factor for the climate in the Indian subcontinent and plays a significant role in the ecosystem of the Arabian ocean. However, with the increase in the global climate, winter monsoons have become more humid and less oxygen-rich and produce excessive algal blooms. The researchers have shown their concern that these blooms will continue to grow, and could be increasingly damaging to regions like Somalia and Vietnam, leading to a decline in fisheries.
