The Agulhas Current is a warm ocean current that flows southward along the southeastern coast of Africa. It originates from the Indian Ocean and is known for its high speed and temperature, significantly influencing the region's climate and marine ecosystems. The current plays a crucial role in the global ocean circulation system. As it moves south, the Agulhas Current eventually rounds the Cape of Good Hope and merges with the cold Benguela Current. This interaction creates a dynamic environment that supports diverse marine life, including various fish species and marine mammals. The current is also important for navigation and fishing industries in the area.
