Dead Zone

The "Dead Zone" refers to an area of water, often in a lake or ocean, where oxygen levels become extremely low due to factors like excess nutrients from pollution. This depletion of oxygen makes it difficult or impossible for most marine life, such as fish and plants, to survive. As a result, these zones become devoid of healthy aquatic life, leading to ecological imbalance and declining fish populations. The Dead Zone typically forms near river mouths or coastal regions and can have serious environmental and economic impacts on local communities relying on fishing and marine resources.
