The Location of The Gulf of Mexico is north of the equator and south of North America! The geography around it is a warm/hot climate. Also there is a lot of wet land around it.
In the summer months the sun makes the water very warm in the gulf. It gets in the high 80's. This makes the dissolved oxygen very slim and not a good place for marine life to live. In the winter months the gulf can get very cool it will get in the 60's sometimes high 50's. It just depends on what the winter is like.
The Gulf of Mexico has a varity of depths. Its deepest spot is 14,383ft. but thats out in the middle. The average salinity of the ocean is 35ppt. This makes an ideal life for marine animals. There is a HUGE varity in fish i nthe gulf, because there is so many different levels and water temp.
In the summer the water is very warm so the marine life moves deeper out, but in the winter the water get cold so a lot of the sea life moves in shalow waters; where it is warmer.
Climate models predict an increase in temperature, variations (higher and lower) in precipitation, andhigher riverine flow in major rivers. A summary of the predicted precipitation, temperature, and streamflow changes, by season expected to occur by the year2100 as a result of global climate changes. The scale of these changes is sufficient to anticipate impacts on the coastal ecosystems, although the magnitude and spatial distribution of impacts is somewhat speculative, given the sometimesconflicting model outputs for regionalpredictions.
