USGS Leads a National Study on Hypoxia in the Gulf of MexicoThe USGS was the lead agency for a recently released national study on the Flux and Sources of Nutrients in the Mississippi-Atchafalaya River Basin. This report is part of a multi-agency assessment of the causes and consequences of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico. Nutrients from the Mississippi River Basin are believed to be responsible, at least in part, for the large hypoxic zone that develops on the Louisiana-Texas shelf in the Gulf of Mexico each summer.
