Marine business and resources play a major role in the economics and way of life in coastal West African countries. Such countries see great profitability from their marine resources while also facing challenges that come with a bordering sea. Despite this fact, there has been limited research into the optimal way for West African Coastal States to coexist with, and sustainably use their marine resources, a research deficit that is mainly due to a lack of infrastructure for in-situ work, lack of capacity development, and comprehensive datasets to undertake oceanographic research.

- The global ocean's overturning circulation is significantly influenced by deep-ocean mixing, turning cold, dense waters into warm, shallower ones.
- The mixing effectiveness is determined by turbulence intensity near underwater features and the exchange rate of mixed boundary waters with the deeper ocean.
- Research in the Southern Ocean reveals a new mixing mechanism linked to deep-water flows along steep topographies, emphasizing the need for this process to be included in ocean circulation models.
