Reviewing dead zones

Article Abstract:

The river-borne plant nutrients from the land are killing off life in parts of shallow seas around the globe, resulting in the 'dead-zones'. The bacteria living off the dead organisms use up seafloor oxygen, thereby causing the loss of most animal life there, hence significant reductions in agricultural and sewage runoff, as well as controls on overfishing, can restore these key marine ecosystems.
