No 'Dead Zones' Along Coastal Waters Near BP Oil Spill

According to an International Business Times Staff Reporter, there are no hypoxic or "dead zones" along the coastal water affected by the BP oil spill. This was concluded from a recent report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA), which compared the current oxygen levels to those scientifically accepted. With the conclusion from the NOAA, the lack of hypoxia is largely accepted reality; yet the report stresses that the effect of the hydrocarbons released into the ecosystem was not addressed.
