The Dead Zone

The enormous « dead zone » in the golf of Mexico will take decades to recover even if the flow of farming chemicals causing the damage is completely halted.

The cause of this problem is the intensive agriculture from the Mississippi. There are lots of wastes thrown into the river by humans, and they come into the gulf of Mexico. The result is an oxygen-deprived dead zone in the gulf. The dead zone is greater than the state of New Jersey.

This problem is emblematic of global suffocation of the oceans caused by modern agriculture. The gulf of Mexico loses all its fish and its nature wildlife is a bad things for the world.

There is also a solution but is not sure.. is the cutting nitrogen flow to the gulf by 20% by 2025, but is very hard we are very late.
