Nutrient Pollution from Farms Threatens Gulf of Mexico Fishing Industry
Nutrient pollution from farms in Illinois is contributing to the creation of a large oxygen-depleted area in the Gulf of Mexico, causing damage to fisheries and marine habitats. The pollution flows from the Mississippi River Basin and is worsened by climate change. Efforts to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus levels in Illinois have fallen short, with voluntary conservation practices proving insufficient. Farmers face obstacles such as the cost of implementing conservation practices, lack of resources, and the challenges of climate change. Environmental groups are calling for more funding, education, and regulation to address the issue, while agricultural interest groups argue for tailored approaches and increased support.
