TL;DR: In this article, the authors update and reevaluate the scientific information on the distribution, history, and causes of continental shelf hypoxia that supports the 2001 Action Plan for Reducing, Mitigating, and Controlling Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force 2001).

TL;DR: In this article, the first submersible reconnaissance of the Blake Ridge Diapir provides the geological and ecological contexts for chemosynthetic communities established in close association with methane seeps.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors update and reevaluate the scientific information on the distribution, history and causes of continental shelf hypoxia that supports the 2001 “Action Plan for Reducing, Mitigating, and Controlling Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico,” incorporating data, publications, and research results produced since the 1999 integrated assessment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the seasonality of continental runoff on the distribution of shelf water masses and found that the terrestrial nutrient input was significantly reduced at stations away from the coast, but high values of nutrients were maintained in subsurface waters due to the presence of South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) at greater depths.
