i don't think the oil help but this has happen before and it is mostly caused by the run off of fertilizers form farms and waste form sewers. The nutrients form the run off cause a bloom in algae and bacteria that depletes the oxygen in the water creating the so call dead zone in oceans, in which there is no life. Some of these dead zones are are big as some states.

until there is conclusive link between the oil spill and the this dead zone, i think is just a attempt to connect this to the oil spill is just to collect money form BP.
