A team of scientists including a University of Michigan aquatic ecologist is forecasting a summer "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico of 5,364 square miles, about average for the 35-year history of the measurements. The forecast is lower than last year's measured size and slightly lower than the fi

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is forecasting an average oxygen-depleted “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico this summer. But that average is still nearly triple a goal for reducing the area where there’s too little oxygen each summer for marine animals to survive. NOAA said in a news release Thursday that combining models developed by five universities resulted in a forecast of about 5,364 square miles. That's a hair lower than the five-year average measured size of 5,380 square miles. Last year's was about 6,334 square miles. A federal-state task force has ...
