Such BS--the implication is that we need to regulate the food supply, how animals are cared for, and how many people can keep (not to mention contract terms), because of a governmental problem.

The problem here is lack of property rights; considering most water is owned by the government, and no private individuals, you get problems like this; privatize the waterways and let people sue for damages and problems like this disappear.

it should be "How Tragedy of the Commons causes Dead Zones".

It's not just chicken farms and farms that have runoff that is polluting the waters. I'm an avid fisherman and the local lake sometimes get dangerous algae blooms that come from the homes around the lake and the fertilizer and pesticides that they spray on their lawns. This lake flows into a major river that eventually leads to the Ohio river and the Mississippi River. There have been fish kills on the river in the past from factories dumping waste into the water. We can only regulate and control what we put into our waterways to a certain point. Waste will always get into the rivers, it's just a matter of limiting the amount to a safe level.
