…climate change is impacting marine communities and the health of fish and fisheries. As a graduate student in the lab of Scripps marine ecologist Lisa Levin, she has been studying the implications of climate-driven oxygen decline in the ocean, a process called ocean deoxygenation. Gallo is passionate about improving the…
