The Workshop

Coastal and estuarine hypoxia have a profound influence on marine ecosystems, global biogeochemical cycles and coastal economies (fisheries, aquaculture, and tourism). Combined with global climate, the direct alteration of nutrient cycles by humans (agriculture, land use, fishing, sewage, atmospheric emissions and subsequent deposition) leads to hypoxia via eutrophication. To what extent is not always clear. During this workshop we specifically focus on regional pre-anthropogenic baselines of hypoxia and determine if (and where) human activities are exacerbating coastal hypoxia, through synthesis of high resolution coastal and estuarine data and modeling efforts.
