“…In this case, the growth of phytoplankton must be counteracted. For example, coral reefs were destroyed over seven thousand years due to the high growth of phytoplankton, enhanced by an eddy [26]. Eddy changes are urgently needed to be discovered because phytoplankton populations impose damage to the ecosystem and make changes in water flows, which transmit pollution and sea anomalies damaging the maritime tourism industry.…”

“…Additionally, eddies might interact with other large systems. For instance, one study found that a 7000-year-old coral reef was asphyxiated due to massive phytoplankton blooms, that were linked to a large eddy (Rahul et al 2010). Similarly, some of the recent devastating hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina, gained intensity in the Gulf of Mexico when passing over a warm-core eddy (Jaimes and Shay 2009).…”
