The hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico is not unique; at least 200 dead zones exist at estuaries and along seacoasts worldwide. These low-oxygen regions share many of the same causes, and they all have ecological and economic repercussions for ecosystems and people. Fortunately, we can pursue strategies to lessen the number, severity, and impacts of dead zones. The following list includes examples of factors that contribute to the development of dead zones (the cause), the consequences that result from dead zones, and possible solutions. Which of the following are consequences of dead zones? a. Economic losses for fisher's
b. Death or aquatic organism that cannot escape
c. Policies to promote no-till agriculture
d. Construction of wetlands to absorb nutrients
e. Nutrient runoff from agriculture fertilizers, manure, and urban sources, which leads to rapid algal growth and subsequent bacterial decomposition

e. Nutrient runoff from agriculture fertilizers, manure, and urban sources, which leads to rapid algal growth and subsequent bacterial decomposition

 Explanation:

Run off from agricultural wastes which contain Nitrogen and Phosphorus are the major sources  causes dead zones.The process where these chemical get washed into the aquatic bodies is called Eutrophication.

These substances leads to algae boosts in the water.The increases population of the algae consumes the available oxygen in the water, therefore making the oxygen concentration drops or no oxygen at all;(Hypoxia)

As the algae population feed on the available resources in the water they exhausted this,and later die.

When the decomposing bacteria used the oxygen in the water to breakdown the dead algae they make use of the available oxygen.This further reduced the oxygen availability and therefore   reduces the oxygen and hence the zone becomes the dead zone, because little or no oxygen is available  for survival of organisms.

This is reversible if the process if europhication or other causes  is eliminated
