Go to pages 166-167 and read about upwellings and their
importance.
Upwellings generates some of the world’s most fertile ecosystems. A 10,000-square-mile region off the west coast of Peru, for example, undergoes continual coastal upwelling and is among the richest fishing grounds in the world. Overall, coastal upwelling regions only cover 1 percent of the total area of the world’s oceans, but they provide about 50 percent of the fish harvest brought back to shore by the world’s fisheries.
