March 26-27, 2007
Bay St. Louis , Mississippi
NOAA is convening a meeting in coordination with the Northern Gulf of Mexico Cooperative Institute in Stennis Space Center, Mississippi to assess the current state-of-knowledge of the Ecological Impacts of Hypoxia on Living Resources focusing on the application of science to coastal decision-making. The effectiveness of existing approaches for evaluating the impacts of hypoxia on ecological, commercial, and recreational important fish and shellfish populations will be compared between three coastal centers noted for seasonally recurring hypoxic zones: Chesapeake Bay, Gulf of Mexico, and Lake Erie. Other regions will be included as comparative systems.
Information on meeting logistics and other details will be posted on: http://www.ngi.msstate.edu/hypoxia
We are seeking both oral (15-minute) and poster presentations for scientific sessions that will be open to the public. These presentation/poster sessions should address one of the following topics:
Please note that time is limited during the oral sessions on March 26-27, 2007. Thus, not all oral presentations may be accepted, and instead we may ask you to present a poster.
