One of the 3 largest ‘Dead Zone’ (hypoxia) ever mapped has been found this year. This is seriously scary stuff … 7,900 square miles of almost oxygen free sea off the Gulf of Mexico. Nothing can live in these dead zones basically, its literally dead sea with no life supporting ability and sea creatures are forced to live on or near the surface in order to breath.
