Dead Zone Keeps Getting Bigger
By Mark Schleifstein
The annual dead zone along Louisiana’s coast has
grown to record size this summer

““Nitrate-nitrogen is a major contributor to the Nitrate-nitrogen is a major contributor to the hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico. It is hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico. It is washed from fields to drainage ditches to washed from fields to drainage ditches to streams, which feed into rivers and, ultimately, streams, which feed into rivers and, ultimately, the Gulf of Mexico. Just as it helps crops grow the Gulf of Mexico. Just as it helps crops grow on land, the nutrients also helps algae grow in on land, the nutrients also helps algae grow in water. Unfortunately, when the algae start to water. Unfortunately, when the algae start to die and decompose, the oxygen in the water is die and decompose, the oxygen in the water is depleted, creating an area that can’t support depleted, creating an area that can’t support most marine life.”most marine life.”

FINAL HYPOXIA ACTION PLAN – January 2001
Voluntary Approach to Reduce Nutrient Discharge to Gulf
![Page 22: OTHER COASTAL WATERS ISSUES Gulf of Mexico HypoxiaHarmful Algae Blooms.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/551458b5550346414e8b54c2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Coastal Goal: By the year 2015, subject to the availability of additional resources, reduce the 5-year running average extent of the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone to less than 1,930 square miles through implementation of specific, practical, and cost-effective voluntary actions by all States, Tribes, and all categories of sources and removals within the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River Basin to reduce the annual discharge of nitrogen into the Gulf.
