NCCOS Studies Effects of Dispersants and Weathered...
To study the impacts of dispersed oil on estuarine organisms and ecosystems, NCCOS scientists used tidal estuarine simulation units (called mesocosms) to mimic the conditions in an estuary affectedby weathered ...
NCCOS Hypoxia Forecasts Prove Accurate
For over ten years NCCOS has developed and improved hypoxia (dead zone) forecasts similar to seasonal weather forecasts. The accuracy of these forecasts is proving to be quite good. Professor ...

The 2015 Mycotoxins & Phycotoxins Conference, held June 14–19, 2015 at Stonehill College (Easton, Maine) highlighted the latest research on prevention and mitigation of harmful algal blooms by a number ...
Scientists Expect Slightly Below Average Chesapeak...
Low river flow and nutrient loading reason for smaller predicted size Scientists are expecting that this year's Chesapeake Bay hypoxic low-oxygen zone, also called the "dead zone," will be approximately ...
NOAA, Partners Predict an Average 'Dead Zone' for ...
Outlook incorporates multiple hypoxia models for first time Scientists are expecting that this year's Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone, also called the 'dead zone,' will be approximately 5,483 square miles ...
Persistent Organic Pollutants Unlikely Cause of Do...
A remote biopsy sample is collected from a bottlenose dolphin. Credit: NOAA NCCOS scientists reported that persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were likely not a contributing factor to the poor health ...
Hypoxia Leads to Pathological, but Reversible, Cha...
The NCCOS sponsored project, Modeling Reproductive and Population Impacts of Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, led by the University of Texas at Austin, is investigating the impacts of ...

Tidal hydrodynamics under future sea level rise and coastal morphology in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
This study examines the integrated influence of sea level rise (SLR) and future morphology on tidal hydrodynamics along the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) coast including seven embayments and three ecologically and economically significant estuaries. A large-domain hydrodynamic model was ...
U.S. Shrimp Market Integration
Recent supply shocks in the Gulf of Mexico—including hurricanes, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the seasonal appearance of a large dead zone of low oxygen water (hypoxia)—have raised concerns about the economic viability of the U.S. shrimp fishery. The ...
Upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α mRNA levels in dragonet Callionymus valenciennei exposed to environmental hypoxia in Tokyo Bay
There is an urgent need to develop reliable biomarkers of environmental hypoxia exposure in marine organisms in order to assess the ecological impacts of the marked increase in coastal hypoxia worldwide. Full-length hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1α and HIF-2α cDNAs were cloned ...
White paper on Gulf of Mexico mercury fate and transport: applying scientific research to reduce the risk from mercury in Gulf of Mexico seafood
This white paper provides back ground and rationale for the priorities laid out in the Action Plan and summarizes our current understanding of mercury in the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. In addition, the Action Plan emphasizes the identification of special ...
Working with video to improve deep-sea habitat characterization
Videos collected from ROVs empower people to explore the ocean from any location. Beyond the immediate value of revealing the mysteries of the deep ocean, video footage provides a rich data source that contributes to our fundamental understanding of the ...
