This is a dead zone that is not naturally made like the largest dead zone that can be found in the lower portion of the black sea. The dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico has been caused by our population polluting the waters with too many nutrients, such as phosphorus and nitrogen. This does not harm the water content at low quantities, as these nutrients feed the growth of blue-green algae. Too many of these nutrients, the blue-green algae will
