Get Involved
What you can Do
-Eat as much organic produce as you can. Organic food does not get any synthetic fertilizers and therefor cannot create an excess of nutrients in the runoff.
-Join the fight to restore the coastal wetlands. Coastal wetlands act as a buffer between the run off water and the ocean. They filter out sediments and chemicals before they reach the ocean. (Possible Solutions)
-You can also visit these websites for more information or to donate to the restoration and prevention of dead zones.
