Teacher or professor: TED-Ed
Subject: Society Lessons, Environment
Content of the Lesson:Get to know how a healthy marine ecosystem functions, and what creates the lethal conditions that lead to dead zones. -- For most of the year, the Gulf of Mexico is teeming with marine life, from tiny crustaceans to massive whales. But every summer, disaster strikes. Around May, animals begin to flee the area. And soon, creatures that can’t swim or can’t swim fast enough begin to suffocate and die off in massive numbers. What's going on? Kate Slabosky dives into the lethal conditions that create dead zones. Lesson by Kate Slabosky, directed by Mette Ilene Holmriis.
