Yes they do. The "dead zone" is caused by hypoxia. In that particular location it is mostly caused by agricultural run off which depletes the oxygen level of the seawater (from the Mississippi river). Note this is not an anoxic environment (no oxygen at all). That dead zone varies in size and always has. Note this is not an anoxic environment (no oxygen at all). It also changes size based on time of year due to temperature and water density (stratification). This year it is 6,500 square miles. It has been as low a 155 square miles. There is marine life in those lower O2 levels. The interesting thing about "dead zones" is they occur all over the world and in some place occur naturally and have for millennia. The ocean is a very interesting place.
What's wrong w/ protecting the environment?

I will attest to Rune's maritime experience. I do not agree at all with the mans political views mind you. He is a mariner though.

Since he is a Fucking Viking, he must captain a Fucking Longboat!
It's good to have another Jack Tar on board.
He actually ran a large commercial fishing vessel. It did not look like a longboat.......did not see any oars anyway....

How's that engineering degree?

I know more than you do, little slav wannabe.
Modern day Norwegian mariners drive steel vessels.
Even if that is true I can still kick your ass...just sayin

Whatever you say hooknose.
Sailor is a good guy, a simple pure conservative like you.
Glad you agree.

What is that, some kind of flyover state insult?

No, it applies to you wherever you go.

Of course, and a submarine is long, hard, and full of seamen.

Um, OK. But how's that engineering degree? Graduate yet?
Rune? An engineer ?!?!
I NEVER saw that one coming.
We engineers are typically methodical, logical thinkers. I wasn't aware anyone had accused Rune of being logical, or had reason to. Anyway, nice to know I'm not the only one here that knows a "Newton" is more than just a tasty Nabisco treat.

Nope. Not buying it.
What is your discipline?
