The dead zone along the coast does exist

Shout out to bmy. It is caused by the fertiziler used in the upper Mississippi water shed. Farmers use fertilizer which is washed into Rivers,which flow to the Mississippi. Fertilizer causes alges blooms( bc algae is a plant that responses to fertiziler) . When algae blooms explode, it causes sucks all the oxygen out of the water which causes fish kills ( bc fish need oxygen).
If you don't believe this science then frick you. You must be a republican with tax dollars titled to the fertilizer industry.
How long will Louisianians allows other states to pollute our water ? Idk but we certainly look like bitches for allowing it to happen

It's Mexican water in the Gulf of Mexico.

I agree that fertilizer is a key factor. It's happens a lot during hot summers. It comes and goes. The scavenger need to eat too!

and in this thread, there is a complete lack of any acknowledgement of the benefit of the fertilizer.
Most policy makers understand that complete elimination of all pollution is not worth the cost.
If that fertilizer plays a large role in high agricultural productivity, which means lower prices and larger agricultural markets, then the issue isn't as black and white as it seems.

I mean we have only known about this for the past 20 years or so. this year the "dead zone" (an unfortunate moniker) is very large. Perhaps the largest ever recorded.
the nitrogen loading has been long blamed as the primary culprit, but long term N+ loads have been decreasing.
there are other drivers. there are other "dead zones" at the mouths of rivers across the globe every year.
They mostly kill sessile benthic organisms that cannot swim to water with higher amounts of dissolved O2, not fin fish.
Nice try though.

So now we can't have Petroleum and fertilizer?
What can we have?

Just a technically but when the algae die they decompose and during the decomposition porecess with the help of organisms that respirate (use O2) under warm warter conditions the dissolved O2 is depleted to a point where certain species of fish cannot survive.
It's called eutrophication.

FWIW, we use petroleum (natural gas) to make fertilizer.

OP needs to get laid

Eutrophication
Are there actually people who deny this happens?

Despite the emotional level of the OP he is right about the dead zone. This can be fixed with engeinering controls. It can be done by sending farm runoff to oxidation ponds prior to dumping into the Mississippi River.

No. People like him jerk off to the though that people do, though

I don't think so. It's just a word that describes an easily observable process. It's not even controversial.
