Low-oxygen dead zone found on seafloor off Alabama coast

The lowest levels were seen at a platform 4 miles southeast of Fort Morgan, which sits in 50 feet of water. Salinity there was 34 parts per thousand, typical of seawater, suggesting the low oxygen was not associated with water flowing out of Mobile Bay, which typically has areas of low oxygen in the summer.

There's always a dead zone on the floor of the GoM isn't there? I was watching a documentary the other day and they said that below (I think it was) 30 feet there is very little oxygen. This is not necessarily indicative of a problem, it's just the way the Gulf is.
