Ocean currents have direct impact on the climate and economy of the region.  Ocean currents and water masses differ in their impacts on marine life and the coastal environment in different ways:  • Impact on biodiversity:  The physical parameters of water masses are essential because they structure the water masses and determine the various habitats that provide the environmental conditions required for marine life.  These conditions influence the production and the growth of plankton and fish species.
