Short summary
This research considers the physical environmental factors that underpin changes in ocean productivity over the shelf of South Africa, where coastal upwelling occurs next to a warm current. Statistical analysis of model assimilated data show that salinity and wind play prominent roles in changes of chlorophyll content, with possible consequences for the coastal fishery.
