Mexico. The two primary factors that had led to his development as well as the maintenance of hypoxia had to do with both the "oxygen-consuming decomposition of phytoplankton" and a
stratified column of water that does not allow for the replenishment of oxygen from the waters surface (Rabalais, Turner & Scavia, 2002). The freshwater discharge, as well
as the circulation patterns present produce a stratified system most of the time, but it is something that is interrupted by occasional tropical storms as well as winter cold
fronts (2002). The constant stratification tends to keep warmer water at the top and the colder water at the bottom, something for which the effects are not clear (2002).
There is also evidence of eutrophication and organic matter sedimentation that is found in the bottom of the water since the 1950s and the changes are more apparent in areas
where there is a great deal of hypoxia (2002). The solutions to the problems at hand tend to be found in the context of "algal bloom symptoms," but
such a solution would be difficult to implement as the causes are multiple stresses (Rabalais, Turner & Scavia, 2002). If the overwhelming nature of the nutrient is a main
causative factor, then its real impact may be influenced by the changes in terms of climate as well as regarding raes of species introduction (Garci, 1998). What also is
significant are alterations in respect to land and resource use, as well as extreme natural events such as the El Nino phenomenon and the 1993 Mississippi River flood (1998).
Other solutions are evident as well. Due to the significant creation of plants that treat sewerage and eutrophication, or the over-fertilization of waters, problems seem to be a
