The rich habitats of the Gulf of Mexico make it one of the most ecologically and economically productive bodies of water in the world. But it has been battling serious problems from over-fishing, wetland loss, a huge oxygen-starved “dead zone” at the mouth of the Mississippi, and oil spills. The map-side of this National Geographic study contains a map of the Gulf of Mexico showing the locations of each of the US and Mexican oil or gas platforms, refineries, pipelines, etc.; as well as the loop currents and a chart of the economic dollars and jobs derived from the US Gulf area. The reverse-side contains a cross-section illustration of the coastal and marine eco-systems, and discusses the effect of oil in the water on each.
