Indian Niño attracts rare marine creatures to Similan Islands, affects droughts
13 Sept 15:06 Key points summarised by AI
- The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), or Indian Niño, explains the recent surge of rare marine creatures, like tiger sharks and Omura whales, around the Similan Islands, as nutrient-rich cold water attracts them to feed.
- Despite drawing diverse marine life, the IOD's cold water negatively impacts young corals and Coralline algae, and its positive phase is linked to droughts in Southeast Asia and Australia.
