Monitoring hypoxia conditions in Corpus Christi Bay, 2003 : final report

Abstract

Hypoxia occurs predominantly in the southeastern region of Corpus Christi Bay in summer. During the summer of 2003, there were very few hypoxic events in comparison to previous years. Disturbance by hypoxia did not significantly increase over the seven year period sampled. Additional long-term sampling is needed to determine if disturbance caused by hypoxia is significantly changing over time in Corpus Christi Bay.
