You might want to look further into this, I recently read an article about prevously thought dead zones are very much alive, ie. the large thought to be dead zone where the mississippi empties into the gulf.

Dieing from pollution = Probably
Dieing from over fishing = definitely

Toss out a cigarette but in Arizona and it will be in the middle of the Atlantic within 18 months.
Countries that fail to manage fisheries and control fishing accurately will cause such a catastrophic loss to their own and other nations that the impact will take several generations to repair, if at all!

The Jellyfish situation in Japan is partly Japans own doing but China exporting anything it can is having the most impact. China has killed its rivers, almost all of them so they fish further out to sea. The baby jelly fish are food for higher order predators - fish. No fish = more jelly fish.

Nothing is infinite!
Poison the land = reap what you sow
Poison the rivers = reap what you sow
Poison the oceans = reap what you sow

Please don't pollute, its my planet too!
Put rubbish in the bin, if you see an asshat tossing garbage out of his car repost it! Film it!
If you see garbage on your lawn or wherever, pick it up! It will harm your, my food supply!

Aquatic Dead Zones Produce Greenhouse Gas 300X More Potent Than CO2

I think the person who made/wrote the wording for that page needs to take a closer look at it again.  It would be really hard to make nitrous oxide without oxygen.  Saying that, the claim on the page is oxygen depleted waters are creating toxic nitrous oxide? 

I doubt the waters are creating nitrous oxide, more likely a byproduct from fertilizer run off.  Which would be common in the area depicted on the link.
