Excessive nutrients are a common problem in the Gulf of Mexico region. The Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA) is developing a Nutrient Criteria Research Framework for nutrient studies to provide information needed to understand the transport, fate and effects of nutrients. This information will be used to inform the development of estuarine and coastal nutrient criteria. The following goals will guide the development of a framework: • Standardize a nutrient study design using a regional approach that can be used at locations around the Gulf of Mexico; • Identify the core monitoring needed to characterize and better understand nutrient sources, fate, transport and effects; and • Provide sufficient understanding of the relationships between nutrients, water quality, physical processes, and biological communities to develop protective nutrient criteria for coastal ecosystems. GOMA will gather existing information and consult with local estuary experts to assist with study design and overall data collection and interpretation. Please join us at this workshop to contribute your knowledge of Gulf of Mexico coastal systems and nutrients. Registration is requested by March 2, 2009. Please visit the workshop website to download a copy of the registration form. A registration fee of $50 will be collected at the workshop and will include the cost of breakfasts, breaks, and meeting materials during the workshop.
