Wow, if they were really able to shrink the zone to 2500 square miles, that would be a huge improvement.

Question: Did the gulf always have some sizable 'dead zone' - have we even studied it that long? - or was it with the advent of fertilizers and pollution that brought it about in the ... I would guess the 1900's?
