| NOAA has awarded first-year funding of $284,000 to researchers at the University of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute (UTMSI) as part of a three-year $781,000 project to develop a better understanding of how nutrient pollution from the Mississippi River affects the large area of low oxygen water called the ?dead zone? in the Gulf of Mexico. The project will also look at how the dead zone affects commercially and recreationally important fish and shellfish.
