Researchers Set Goals to Reduce Nitrate and Phosphorus Pollution in the Gulf of Mexico

Algae blooms in the Gulf of Mexico use most of the oxygen in the water which results in massive "dead zones" that are incapable of supporting fish or other wildlife. Nitrate, running off agricultural fields via tile drainage systems, is one of the reasons for this situation.
