Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind-driven motion of dense, cooler, and usually nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface, replacing the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted surface water. Upwelling intensity depends on wind strength and seasonal variability so nutrient levels are not constant year round.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
