Researchers are concerned that the "historically unprecedented failure" could have far-reaching consequences for the stability of entire marine ecosystems.
For the first time in 40 Years, Panama's deep and cold ocean waters fail to emerge
The natural phenomenon of upwelling, which occurs annually in the Gulf of Panama, failed for the first time on record in 2025. A study led by scientists from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) indicates that the weakening of the trade winds was the cause of this event. This finding highlights the climate's impact on fundamental oceanic processes and the coastal communities that depend on them.
