CSCOR's hypoxia and nutrient pollution research provides results and predictive tools which enable coastal resource managers to make informed, proactive, and scientifically based decisions to help mitigate the impact of these stressors on aquatic ecosystems. Ecological forecasts using indicators of coastal ecosystem habitat health and sustainability allow managers to understand how hypoxia and nutrient pollution affect the structure and function of coastal ecosystems and evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation and restoration strategies.
Hypoxia Ecological Forecasting Examples:
The annual prediction of the size of the Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone
Forecasting the causes, consequences and potential solutions for hypoxia in Lake Erie
