Excess nutrients entering our waterways and warming temperatures are causing low oxygen levels in coastal waters. This low oxygen, or hypoxia, can negatively affect fish and other aquatic organisms. In this talk, students of the MEES Graduate Program 2023 Issue Study Group will discuss long-term trends in the Patuxent River Estuary, what is controlling these trends, and what it means for the restoration and management of estuaries in the face of climate change.
Join us at the oldest state-supported marine lab on the East Coast to learn about innovative research being pioneered by CBL scientists. Our faculty and graduate students are developing new approaches to solving the environmental management problems facing Southern Maryland, our nation, and our world. Each talk will be presented by an UMCES scientist and will inform the public about a featured research effort.
