Which localized outcome commonly occurs due to coastal upwelling?

💡 Explanation

Coastal upwelling brings nutrient-rich water to the surface; this process, called nutrient transport, fuels phytoplankton growth because these organisms were nutrient-limited, therefore increasing productivity rather than decreasing oxygen or causing bleaching.
