Depends on closeness to major industrial and population centers. For example, many places along the Gulf of Mexico have a high biologic diversity. Others, such as the Mississippi delta have become death-zones due to eutrophization (algal bloom sequestering oxygen from the water, thus becoming mortal zones for aquatic life). Areas close to oil extraction platforms are usually polluted by leaks and waste disposal from the platforms themselves.
