Death in the water

'Dead Zones' are spreading across the oceans- areas where oxygen levels are so low (anoxia/hypoxia) life-forms cannot survive. The problem stems from excess decaying organic debris, which flourish due to our wastes, being dissolved by oxygen-consuming bacteria, which then secrete carbon dioxide. An area the size of Connecticut off the coast of Oregon is getting serious attention, due to its sudden appearance and massive size. Scientists think these lifeless zones will double number in about ten years, Man's pollution being the main reason why they have formed.

Soon, the oceans 'carrying capacity' will be reached, they will die, and humans will become extinct.
