Grist: Oh yay. Just 5,840 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico are virtually bereft of life this summer. This years dead zone is much bigger than an official goal of 1,950 square miles, but not as bad as had been feared. Heavy spring rains inundated Mississippi River tributaries with fertilizers and other nutrients, and once those pollutants flowed into the Gulf, they led to the growth of oxygen-starved areas where marine life cant survive. But NOAA says things could have been worse. The agency had previously...
Dead Zone in Gulf of Mexico is Big, Though Not as Big as Feared

Nature World News: This year's dead zone located off the coast of the Southeastern United States in the Gulf of Mexico, though big, is not a large as feared, NOAA announced Monday. Dead -- or hypoxic -- zones result when runoff derived from agricultural and other human activities reach the watershed, causing an overgrowth of algae that sinks, decomposes and consumes much of the oxygen needed to support life. With this in mind, many researchers braced for the worst based on flood conditions in the Midwest that...

Enbridge Says Eastern U.S. Gulf Coast Next Big Market for Canadian Oil
2013-01-25 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO) has started to sketch out plans for moving Canadian crude oil to a U.S. refining market it has so far had little access to--the eastern Gulf Coast region of Louisiana and Mississippi, its chief executive said on Thursday. Enbridge, the largest shipper of Canada's oil, has been a main player in adding pipeline capacity to the western Gulf Coast, most recently with the expansion of the Seaway pipeline between the hub at Cushing, Oklahoma, and the Houston area. That project...
