Eastern Boundary Upwelling System  

Definition

  • One of the ocean's most productive biomes, supporting one- fifth of the world's wild marine fish harvest. These ecosystems are defined by ocean currents that bring nutrient- rich but oxygen-poor water to coasts that line the eastern edges of the world's ocean basins.
