Chesapeake hypoxic zone reductions are tied to nitrogen controls, but wet years and future development keep the outlook cautious.

A vast low-oxygen “dead zone” has again formed in the Gulf of Mexico along the U.S. coast, according to new measurements released Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA ...

June 14 (UPI) --The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has forecast a larger than average Gulf of Mexico "dead zone" this year of 5,847 square miles. That's about the size of Connecticut.
