The report describes a strategy for monitoring, modeling, and
research activities to support management decisions to improve
water-quality conditions in the Mississippi River Basin, reduce
hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and improve conditions
for Vanadium and boron were detected at high and moderate
concentrations in this area. High concentrations for these
constituents were detected almost exclusively in samples
collected in the Temecula Valley study area. Overview of Klamath
ecological research and links to USGS Klamath studies on ground
water, nutrients, sediment oxygen demand, and fish response to
water quality, sucker ecology, publications, bibliographies, and
data. A brief definition and explanation of hypoxia with special
reference to the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone along the
Louisiana-Texas coast as well as extensive links to USGS and
other related information resources. Information about the
causes and impact of hypoxia with links to USGS and other
