Description
This report is part of a larger report entitled Regional Impacts of Climate Change: Four Case Studies in the United States. This case study looks at how hypoxia in the Chesapeake Bay is affected by climate variabilty and projected climate change and what this may mean in terms of obstacles to existing ecosystem restoration. The case study uses past observations to determine the various impacts climate may have on hypoxia and what the results are for the ecosystem. Using this information, the case study includes a projection of how climate change is likely to affect hypoxia, and how climate change will affect attainment of restoration goals.
