<human>: I'm a scuba diver. I want to know if the ozone hole is affecting the marine life in the ocean.
<bot>: Yes, the ozone hole is having an effect on the marine life in the ocean. The hole has been shrinking since it was discovered in 1985 and the rate of decline has slowed significantly over the past decade. As a result of this change, more ultraviolet radiation from the sun reaches the surface of the ocean, which can have negative impacts on marine organisms such as coral reefs, plankton, and fish.
