[GJM] Creeping Dead Zones in the Ocean

[mary rose]

As noted previously, I am making Power Point Presentations for educational purposes. One of them is on how the use of pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers, plus dumping sewage into the oceans is affecting the world around us.  
Here is an article on this.  Now I don't expect a lot of response on this because I know that people in the looney bin don't pay much attention to finding solutions, they just keep going round and round in their same old habit pattern shouting and complaining.  But maybe a few on our Co-learner's list will get the message and begin taking action to encourage others to take action, and we might just be able to transform ourselves from catepillars into butterflys and wing our way out of this mess. 
If we weren't insane as a collective consciousness, we wouldn't be dumping kind of stuff in the ocean anyway, but then what can one do? 

Creeping Dead Zones

This is not the title of a sequel to a Stephen King novel. "Dead zones" in this context are areas where the bottom water (the water at the sea floor) is anoxic - meaning that it has very low (or completely zero) concentrations of dissolved oxygen. These dead zones are occurring in many areas along the coasts of major continents, and they are spreading over larger areas of the sea floor. Because very few organisms can tolerate the lack of oxygen in these areas, they can destroy the habitat in which numerous organisms make their home.
