Texas Coast Low Oxygen Dead Zone
- "Not all of the area from the Texas-Louisiana coast to Brownsville [on the Mexican border] is a dead zone area, but very much of it is. The Texas dead zone appears to be more patchy and not as continuous as the Louisiana dead zone to the east, but much of the region there has very low oxygen levels, some extremely low." - quote from Steve DiMarco, associate professor in Texas A&M's College of Geosciences, who has studied dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico for more than 15 years; quote appeared in this ENS article.
