This book examines the processes that create and sustain anoxia (the absence of oxygen) and hypoxia (the near absence of oxygen) in the Chesapeake Bay. The authors of the book's four chapters discuss major findings and summarize the gradually developing consensus on the implications of these findings for resource management. This research results largely from an integrated research effort into the processes of dissolved oxygen in the Chesapeake Bay begun in 1985 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, through the Sea Grant programs of Maryland and Virginia. The four major chapters are written by William C. Boicourt, Thomas C. Malone, Robert Jonas, W. Michael Kemp and Walter Boynton. Order this book from Maryland Sea Grant |
