Gulf Hypoxia Monitoring Stakeholder Committee

The Gulf Hypoxia Monitoring Stakeholder Committee was established to provide guidance to the Steering Committee for the Gulf Hypoxia Monitoring Implementation Plan.



Gulf Hypoxia Monitoring Committee

Gulf Hypoxia Monitoring Stakeholder Committee

 

The Gulf Hypoxia Monitoring Stakeholder Committee was established to ascertain the needs of the stakeholder communities for a comprehensive, integrative, sustainable monitoring program for the northern Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone (“Dead Zone”). The Committee will also determine the monitoring required to improve management of regional inshore hypoxia along the Gulf of Mexico and the Education and Outreach activities necessary to raise public awareness on the health and economic impacts of hypoxia.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Watch
Hypoxia Watch uses near-real-time shipboard measurements of bottom
dissolved oxygen to create data and map products that show anoxic and
hypoxic conditions in the western and north-central Gulf of Mexico.

National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science: Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Assessment
The goals of the hypoxia science assessment are to document the state
of knowledge of the extent, characteristics, causes, and effects (both
ecological and economic)of hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico. 

Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research: Gulf of Mexico Ecosystems & 
Hypoxia Assessment (NGOMEX)
To address the issue of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico, the National Centers for 
Coastal Ocean Science, Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research, is supporting 
multiyear, interdisciplinary research projects to develop a fundamental understanding 
of the northern Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. The focus is on the causes and effects of 
the hypoxic zone and the prediction of its future extent and impacts.

Dead Zone Data Visualization
A product of the NOAA Environmental Visualization Laboratory, this data visualization discusses the 
causes of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico.  Run-time is 3:50.

Ecosystem Description: Hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico
Nancy N. Rabalais of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium wrote an 
overview of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico for NOAA's Coastal Services Center.



Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Mississippi River Basin/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient (Hypoxia) Task Force
The Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force was 
established in the fall of 1997 as part of the government's plan to address 
hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico.

Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: Scientific Assessment of Causes 
and Options for Mitigation
At the request the Office of Water, the EPA Science Advisory Board 
evaluated the state-of-the-science regarding the Gulf of Mexico 
hypoxic zone and prepared an updated science assessment.

USGS Hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico Studies
The USGS provides scientific information to support management actions intended 
to reduce excess nutrients in the Mississippi River Basin and hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico.
