June 10, 2019: Dead Zone at the Mouth of the Mississippi

 

6/10/19: Who needs the E.P.A., especially now that it’s led by a former Big Coal and Big Oil lobbyist! We should let business types control everything. Screw environmental protection! 

This year, farm runoff, including fertilizer and pesticide residues, is expected to create an 8,700 square mile “dead zone” at the mouth of the Mississippi. That’s a zone the size of New Jersey where sea life cannot survive. 


Fertilizer runoff clogs stream in Illinois with algae.

Now think of an area the size of New Jersey.
