Deep Water Mixing Prevents Harmful Algal Bloom Formation: Implications for Managed Fisheries Refugia (2012-10-19)Inflows affect water quality, food web dynamics, and even the incidence of harmful algal blooms. It may be that inflows can be manipulated to create refuge habitat for biota trying to escape poor environmental conditions, ...

(PLOS ONE, 2014-02-14)Although the Mississippi-Atchafalaya River system exports large amounts of nutrients to the Northern Gulf of Mexico annually, nutrient limitation of primary productivity still occurs offshore, acting as one of the major ...
-
(2014-12-08)The freshwater inflow of the Mississippi-Atchafalaya River system and the local circulation patterns result in nutrient enriched waters in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) in spring, which fuels phytoplankton blooms, ...
-
(2012-07-16)Mass coral spawning represents a nutrient input to coral reef systems that for Pacific reefs has been shown to stimulate pelagic and benthic processes. If phytoplankton in the water column over the reef are able to utilize ...
