Submarine springs exist all over the world. They require specific local conditions such as permeable sediment or bedrock layers that direct the groundwater flow to the spring. Finding them therefore requires luck!

Groundwater springs can influence marine ecosystems by importing nutrients, for example. They are also important sites for the spawning of some fish.
Citizens can of course help us find more of these interesting locations.
