2021年墨西哥湾死亡区面积为6 705平方英里,是创纪录的第十二大死亡区,主要是营养物质径流造成的。 2021 Gulf of Mexico dead zone, at 6,705 square miles, is the 12th largest on record, primarily caused by nutrient runoff.
墨西哥湾是损害海洋生物的低氧区,墨西哥湾的死区面积为6 705平方英里,根据国家海洋和大气管理局(诺阿)的数据,是创纪录的第12个最大的。 The Gulf of Mexico's dead zone, a low-oxygen area detrimental to marine life, measures 6,705 square miles, the 12th largest on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 今年的死区比预期的要大,主要是营养物质流失造成的,导致藻类过度增长,随后氧气耗竭。 This year's dead zone is larger than anticipated and is primarily caused by nutrient runoff, leading to algal overgrowth and subsequent oxygen depletion. 死区氧气枯竭 迫使鱼类和其他海洋生物 撤离该地区 The dead zone's depletion of oxygen forces fish and other marine life to vacate the area. 美国环境保护署（EPA）正在投资6000万美元，以减少死区并管理对沿海资源和社区的影响。 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is investing $60 million into the effort to reduce the dead zone and manage impacts on coastal resources and communities.
