Gulf of Mexico [SEP] Pollution
The major environmental threats to the Gulf are agricultural runoff and oil drilling. There are frequent "red tide" algae blooms that kill fish and marine mammals and cause respiratory problems in humans and some domestic animals when the blooms reach close to shore. This has especially been plaguing the southwest and southern Florida coast, from the Florida Keys to north of Pasco County, Florida.
