Eutrophication & Hypoxia Map Data Set
Full dataset of eutrophic and hypoxic coastal areas.
The Interactive Map of Eutrophication & Hypoxia represents 762 coastal areas impacted by eutrophication and/or hypoxia. There are 479 sites identified as experiencing hypoxia, 55 sites that once experienced hypoxia but are now improving, and 228 sites that experience other symptoms of eutrophication, including algal blooms, species loss, and impacts to coral reef assemblages. These data were compiled using a literature search conducted by Dr. Robert Diaz of VIMS and WRI staff.
