I've heard that estuaries like Chesapeake Bay produce a lot of methane during anoxic conditions. Is there a chance of these estuaries emitting significant amounts of CH4 in the future (because of the growth of dead zones/less O2)? Can these emissions affect global climate?

  • $\begingroup$ It's a old article from 2016, the authors say it's likely an overestimate but I still wonder how much these estuaries emit in the future. $\endgroup$
