Every summer, an ocean "Dead Zone" the size of the state of New Jersey forms in the Gulf of Mexico, completely devoid of marine life.

This mass mortality event doesn't start in the ocean. It starts thousands of miles inland, on industrial agricultural farms across the US Midwest.

To maximize crop yields, industrial agriculture applies millions of tons of synthetic nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers to corn and soy fields every spring.

When heavy rains fall, the soil cannot absorb the sheer volume of chemicals. The excess fertilizer washes into local streams, flows into the Mississippi River, and pours directly into the ocean.

Once in the sea, the fertilizer does exactly what it was designed to do: it triggers explosive growth. Massive toxic algae blooms cover thousands of square miles of ocean surface.

When the algae dies and decomposes, the process consumes nearly all the dissolved oxygen in the water column—a process called hypoxia.

Fish, shrimp, and crabs either flee the area or suffocate by the millions on the seafloor.

The fertilizer applied inland to grow cheap corn killed the ocean at the coast.

Nature does not recognize state lines or agricultural boundaries. What we pour onto our soil always finds its way back to the sea.

Beauty and sustainability go hand in hand. 🌿💚

For , we’re highlighting Mia Lehrer, a Salvadoran American landscape architect whose work brings together nature, design, and community.

Through parks, gardens, urban landscapes, and large-scale environmental projects, Lehrer has spent her career reimagining how the places we share can be both beautiful and resilient.

Her work is a reminder that beauty isn’t just something we admire. It can be something we intentionally create, protect, and build into our communities.
