I don't have the material at hand, but I believe that these calculations have been done for the Baltic. There is a large and growing anoxic zone which is attributed to agricultural runoff, and I am almost certain that the connection has been established through quantitative models. And I see no

Nice presentation. I am not disputing the appearance of dead zones. We have been seeing them in the mainstem of the Chesapeake during the last few years. The 'excessive' algae growth model is probably appropriate in the Chesapeake Bay, possibly the Baltic, as they tend to enclosed

The 'excessive' algae growth model is probably appropriate in the Chesapeake Bay, possibly the Baltic, as they tend to enclosed relatively small areas, where nutrient concentrations can escalate rapidly. I wonder if the Arabian Sea, hypoxic below 100 m, might qualify. Along the coast of Oman

I don't see why an excessive algal growth model would fail to predict a large hypoxic zone around the mouth of the Mississippi. In fact, the models apparently do predict it, though I can't say if they get the right answer for the wrong reason. The Mississippi watershed is vast, and an
