Description:

In summer 1976, bottom waters over a large portion of the inner continental shelf off New Jersey became hypoxic (here defined as less than 2 ml/l dissolved oxygen). Complete lack of oxygen, and presence of hydrogen sulfide, were noted in the center of the hypoxic area (Sharp, 1976). Impacts to the benthic macrofauna, and initial recolonization, have been described (Boesch et al., 1977; Steimle and Radosh, in press).
