Dead zone — According to an American Rivers press release, the Clinton Administration left a long-term plan to remedy the expanding "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico. The dead zone no longer supports life as a result of pollution that has caused low levels of dissolved oxygen. The condition, called "hypoxia", occurs when too many nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen enter the ocean, causing excessive algae growth. As the algae die and decompose, dissolved oxygen levels plunge. The plan, released by the EPA in January, calls for reduction of the dead zone through voluntary decrease of polluted runoff, water quality monitoring and public education.
