The Dead Sea in Jordan is an example of an anoxic water site. The term anoxic is defined as a body water containing no oxygen hence why the Sea is named "Dead" Sea. These waters are often a product of oil spills or improper waste disposal. Once the polluted waters become anoxic they are unable to sustain any sea life. Subsequently, the sea creatures and plant life die or attempt to migrate to another body of water. These polluted waters kill animals that have no choice but to suffer due to human carelessness. There is no reason to improperly dispose of waste when there are other methods.
