I agree Dean! The MSNBC article doesn't say anything about that it's mostly caused by heavy flow of freshwater is the main cause of low oxygen levels in the Gulf of Mexico. Sorry but the statement "A 7,900 sq mile dead zone where no fish can survive" is imo way over blown. That's like saying a cesspool the size of New Jersey exists right off the coast of Louisiana.
