This is not an argument against controlling fertilizer etc runoff which cause or contribute to algae blooms and dead zones -- but they are not something new. Algae blooms & resulting dead zones have always occurred in basins of water where the circulation of the greater ocean is limited by geography - like the GOM currently. Thats why oil and gas reserves are associated with areas that were once sedimentary basins - the dead algae and other life sunk to the bottom, got covered over with sediment and over eons, pressure and heat did the rest.
