Ukraine's waters: Danube delta pelicans, Black Sea dolphins, sturgeon and gobies, sentence 15

Below about 150 to 200 metres the Black Sea has almost no oxygen and is full of a gas that smells of rotten eggs, and shipwrecks over 2,000 years old have been found there almost whole because no worms eat the wood.

Who acts: Black Sea, gas, worms · What happens: have, be, smell, find, eat · To what, where: 150 200 metres, shipwrecks, wood
