Original Note:
Often mislabelled as meet of Atlantic & Pacific, even though simple research show its meeting of the outflow of the Mississippi (fresh water) River into Gulf Mexico. The river loaded with sediments, nutrients, algae. The waters mix. Similar seen on some other river outflows. https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/news/fuel-feeding-gulf-mexico-hypoxia-transports-nearshore-offshore-causing-dead-zone/
