HABHRCA 1998
The 1998 HABHRCA legislation originally established the Interagency Task Force to develop four assessments and plans. These plans (listed below) were produced as a collaborative effort that included Federal and State agencies, Tribes, and research institutions and have guided HAB and hypoxia research:
- National Assessment of Harmful Algal Blooms in US waters, 2000
- Integrated Assessment of Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, 2000
- Action Plan for Reducing, Mitigating, and Controlling Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, 2001
- An Assessment of Coastal Hypoxia and Eutrophication in US Waters, 2003
