Pollution, revisited
Out of the thread from which it migrated, this month's National
Geographic has a little article (half page with graphic) about dead zones in the seas. The graphic shows the one in the Gulf of Mexico but the article sez it's worldwide. These are areas where there is no aquatic life, and are generally hundreds of miles long (i.e., not small enough to have concentrated boat - of any size - activity). Dead zones are created, it sez, from agricultural runoff, along with the start-to-finish sequences of what happens. I see no dead zones around even the most concentrated marine traffic, let alone recreational boaters... I leave you the prospect of debating why it is we have to have holding tanks, pumpouts, Lectra (now Electra)-Sans, and the like under those circumstances...
