Nutrient Pollution

Nutrient pollution has grown to be a huge problem in 2017! Just off the coast of Louisiana in an 8,000-square-mile space of ocean, is growing as a dead zone. The marine life their is literally suffocating to death, as a result of nutrient pollution that's flowing from the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico. Because of this huge clumps of algae are appearing which is sucking the oxygen from the water. Making it harder for the fish to breath, and fleeing in mass sizes.Plants and worms are unable to flee and just dying. Now the so called "dead zone" in the Gulf grew to the size of New Jersey in 2017, which is the largest dead zone ever recorded in the world!
