Scientists are expecting an average, but still large, hypoxic or "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico this year, and a slightly above-average hypoxic zone in the Chesapeake Bay. NOAA-supported ...

This summer, NCCOS-sponsored scientists from Texas A&M University will test the use of gliders to monitor and map hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The team will deploy five ...

Reducing the size of the widespread area of hypoxia (low oxygen) in the northern Gulf of Mexico - known as the "Dead Zone" - represents one of the nation's crucial ...

Brevetoxin B2 - an abundant shellfish metabolite of brevetoxin found in Gulf of Mexico oysters - does not readily pass through an intestinal barrier, rendering it unlikely to cause neurotoxic ...

An NCCOS-funded study is investigating the ecological effects of sea level rise in the Gulf of Mexico. The effort is the focal point of the Northern Gulf of Mexico Sentinel ...

Bottlenose dolphins in Louisiana's Barataria Bay have lung damage and adrenal hormone abnormalities not previously seen in other dolphin populations, according to a new study published Dec. 18, 2013 in ...

National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science supported scientists have documented that the 2013 'dead zone'(area of hypoxia, or low oxygen) in the northern Gulf of Mexico west of the Mississippi ...

Researchers identified areas with low dissolved oxygen (DO) levels resulting in unhealthy benthic communities shown here in red, orange, and yellow. A new report is available summarizing the findings of ...

Today, NOAA and partners issued the 2013 dead zone predictions for two of the nation's most hypoxia-impacted bodies of water:the Gulf of Mexico and the Chesapeake Bay. The Gulf of ...
