Short summary
Human activities are changing the coastal water environment, but the role of suspended sediments in oxygen loss is not well understood. We used a model to compare dissolved oxygen levels and related factors in the 1990s and 2010s in the Pearl River estuary. Reduced suspended sediments and increased pollution have expanded low-oxygen areas by 1.5 times. This highlights the fact that declining suspended sediments increase hypoxia in estuaries, especially with rising nutrients, which needs urgent attention.
