Recently, the MARB held a workshop that brought together farmers, fisherman, natural resource professionals and agricultural industry leaders from across the basin to learn from one another and brainstorm ways to reduce Gulf Hypoxia. Mississippi State’s Beth Baker, associate extension professor and director of Research and Education to Advance Conservation and Habitat (REACH) and Steve Ashby, co-director for the Northern Gulf Institute, presented information about management strategies and water quality in the Mississippi Bight, as well as collaborative partnerships to tackle nutrient losses in the MARB.
