Abstract: Land meets the ocean in the coast zone, which is of great importance for aquaculture, fisheries, tourism and transportation, among other things. As fifty percent of the world population lives within 100 km of the coast, human activities have put tremendous pressure on the coastal environment. For instance, excess nutrients that are generated by agriculture and present in domestic waste have been discharged into the oceans by rivers, making many coastal regions hypoxic or even anoxic. Most people do not realize that a substantial fraction of the freshwater on land enters the oceans directly from the seabed, unseen by human eyes. This process is called submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) [1-5].
