Yes, I believe that when the excessive levels of plants die off, the decomposition process uses up a lot of?the dissolved oxygen in the water, thus?lowering the oxygen levels to critical levels.

I know that runoff from farm areas and lawns causes problems due to all the fertilizer that is picked up and deposited in our?rivers and oceans - thus promoting plant growth (not always good)?but don't all green plants MAKE oxygen - A good thing ?
