> Currently most of the ocean is a lifeless desert

Where can I read more about that? My understanding was that it is teaming with microorganisms or near-microorganisms, and of course there are many fauna and flora and protista and other life forms.

For water to team with life, you need materials for building cells in the same place where the light is, and in most cases there is not enough iron on the surface


Thanks! And that is a great resource.
