The goal of the book is to examine scientific advances since
2000 that may have increased understanding and options in three
general areas related to hypoxia:
Characterization the Cause(s) of Hypoxia. The physical,
biological and chemical processes that affect the development,
persistence and extent of hypoxia in the northern Gulf of
Mexico.
Characterization of Nutrient Fate, Transport and Sources.
Nutrient loadings, fate, transport and sources in the Mississippi
River that impact Gulf Hypoxia.
Scientific Basis for Goals and Management Options. The
scientific basis for, and recommended revisions to, the goals
proposed in the Action Plan; and the scientific basis for the
efficacy of recommended management actions to reduce nutrient flux
from point and nonpoint sources.
In addressing the state of the science, the book focuses on the
strengths and limitations of the science in managing the Gulf
hypoxia problem, including available data, models and model results
and uncertainty. It includes work from the following authors:
