Oxygen-poor sea may spark spate of shark bites
 

HOUSTON - A huge "dead zone" of water so devoid of oxygen that sea life
cannot live in it has spread across 5,800 square miles (15,000 square
kilometers) of the Gulf of Mexico this summer, in what has become an annual
occurrence caused by pollution.

Man, that is just horrible.
I think the thing that comes to mind the most is that they are doing nothing
to stop the pollution.

I wonder how many former US companies are contributing to the problem.

It's OK, as long as this country (the USA) just buries it's head in
the sand and keeps telling itself that we have no problems like
this... we have no incentive to change yet. It would take an
apocalyptic ecological disaster to make us pull our heads out of our
hind ends. But Noooooo, I'm not disenchanted. :)

the worst part is that there are several large sanctuaries down there Padre
Island coming to mind. a lot of the pollution is coming from the Mexican side
of the Rio Grande and don't forget all those platform wells out in the gulf off
Louisiana.

when I lived in Houston, there were days Galveston Beach was so bad you
couldn't swim in it.
