AND..... Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico EPA Science Advisory Board FY 2009 OPERATING PLAN A COMPILATION OF ACTIONS TO IMPLEMENT THE GULF HYPOXIA ACTION PLAN 2008 GOAL By 2015, reduce hypoxia below 5,000 km 2 (1928 mi 2 ) (over a 5-yr running average). …(by reducing) the annual discharge of nitrogen and phosphorus into the Gulf.

Action Plan Goal Long- Term Average 5-Year Average Source: N. Rabalais, LUMCON no data

Summit on Gulf Hypoxic Zone Monitoring Summit on Long-Term Monitoring of the Gulf of Mexico Hypoxic Zone: Developing the Implementation Plan for an Operational Observation System

1 White Paper to Improve Monitoring of the Gulf of Mexico Hypoxic Zone in Support of the Hypoxia Task Force’s Coastal Goal 1 White Paper: Hypoxia Data Inventory 2 Hypoxia Monitoring Stakeholder Committee Hypoxia Monitoring Implementation Plan Outcomes

GULF OF MEXICO HYPOXIA MONITORING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Priority 1 (Core System Requirements) Provide sufficient monitoring data to ensure that management is adequately informed in efforts to achieve the Coastal Goal Priority 2 Assess annual changes in the magnitude, seasonality, duration, and distribution of hypoxia, and relate these to management activities that affect nutrient loading and other influences on hypoxia Priority 3 Provide adequate data for predictive models to develop accurate forecasts of hypoxia given alternative management targets for nutrient reduction and alternative scenarios of climate change Determine the relationship between hypoxic zone magnitude, timing, and distribution, and the distribution, production, and health of ecologically and commercially important finfish and shellfish

Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Monitoring Implementation Plan Workshop Northern Gulf Institute 9 December 2008 Stennis Space Center, Mississippi Refine system components Review tier structure Address Action Plan needs Discuss financial strategy Workshop Report in Review

System Requirements Extend spatial coverage of shelf-wide surveys Increase number of surveys Maintain transects and observing systems Test application of AUVs

Tier 2 Increase number of observing systems

System Requirements Create a portal to maximize accessibility to, and exchange of, hypoxia data Maintain Gulf Hypoxia Monitoring Stakeholder Committee (GHMSC) and promote coordination through workshops Maintain GHMSC website Coordinate outreach activities between GHMSC and Hypoxia Task Force, GOMA, GCOOS outreach committees Promote mechanisms for increasing awareness of public/stakeholders Promote mechanisms for dissemination findings and data to managers

System Requirements Outreach Expand Hypoxia Watch website to host national hypoxia observations Improve discovery, access, transport, and archive of data Data aggregate from sensor network – connect to CZRM Website geospatial mapping capability
