	The Nature Conservancy in the Gulf of Mexico - Gulf of Mexico Initiative: Gulf of Mexico Environment - Gulf of Mexico ...
		The Gulf of Mexico is a large oceanic basin that borders five U.S. states — Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida — to the north, and Mexico’s eastern shoreline and the Yucatán Peninsula to the south.
		Because of its considerable size and diversity of habitat types, the Gulf of Mexico is home to a highly diverse and valuable array of natural resources, including nesting waterfowl, colonial waterbird rookeries, sea turtles, and fisheries all supported by the abundant bays, estuaries, tidal flats and barrier islands of the Gulf of Mexico.
		The drainage basin for the northern Gulf of Mexico extends from the Appalachians to the Rockies.

	Gulf of Mexico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The gulf's eastern, north, and northwestern shores lie within the United States of America (specifically, the states of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas); its southwestern and southern shores lie within Mexico (specifically, the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo); on the southeast it is bordered by Cuba.
		The present-day culture of the coastal region is primarily Spanish-American (Mexico, Cuba) and Anglo-American (U.S.).
		It is hypothesized that this impact was the asteroid that caused the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs.

	Ecosystem Description - Hypoxia in the Gulf Of Mexico
		Stratification in the northern Gulf of Mexico is most influenced by salinity differences year-round, but is accentuated in the summer due to solar warming of surface waters and calming winds.
		The severity and duration of oxygen depletion in the northern Gulf of Mexico depend, at least partially, on the amplitude and phasing of discharge from the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers (Justic et al., 1993; Rabalais et al., 1996, 1998, 1999).
		The northern Gulf of Mexico adjacent to the discharge of the Mississippi River system is an example of a coastal ocean that has undergone eutrophication as a result of increasing nutrients and that has worsened century-long and accelerating recent decadal hypoxic conditions.

	Protecting the Gulf of Mexico: Leadership or Crisis?
		From the Calusa of Florida's southwestern coast to the empire of the Aztecs, the depth and complexity of the native civilizations was largely unappreciated by the Europeans.
		The Gulf region has flown under many flags and that diverse political and cultural heritage is still evident in the architecture, linguistics, and political structure of the area.
		From its inception, the Gulf Program was envisioned as a multi-agency partnership endeavor based on the simple premise that no single agency or institution had the technical skills, financial resources, or legislative authority needed to address the environmental or natural resource problems confronting an ecological system the size of the Gulf.

		The Gulf of Mexico simulation has a horizontal resolution of approximately 5 km with 60 vertical layers (using a hybrid z-coordinate in the deep ocean and a terrain-following, or sigma, coordinate in the top 100 m).
		The Gulf of Mexico simulation is forced by winds, heat flux, evaporation and precipitation, fresh water inflow from 30 rivers, and flow through the open boundary in the Caribbean Sea.

	NOAA's National Ocean Service: Hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico
		The goals of the hypoxia science assessment are to document the state of knowledge of the extent, characteristics, causes, and effects (both ecological and economic) of hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
		The Integrated Assessment examines the distribution, dynamics and causes of hypoxia in the northern Gulf of Mexico; its ecological and economic consequences; the sources and loads of nutrients transported by the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico; effects of reducing nutrient loads; and the social and economic benefits of such methods.
		The Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force, at an October 11 meeting, reached agreement on an Action Plan, based on the Integrated Assessment, to reduce the extent of hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico.

	The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone
		The Gulf of Mexico dead zone is an area of hypoxic (link to USGS definition) (less than 2 ppm dissolved oxygen) waters at the mouth of the Mississippi River.
		The zone occurs between the inner and mid-continental shelf in the northern Gulf of Mexico, beginning at the Mississippi River delta and extending westward to the upper Texas coast.

	Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia
		The Gulf of Mexico "Dead Zone", or hypoxic zone, is an expanse of oxygen-depleted waters that cannot sustain most marine life.
		This hypoxic zone is caused by excessive amounts of nitrogen pollution delivered to the Gulf by the Mississippi River.
		The vast size of the Dead Zone and the severity of its impact are largely a consequence of human activity — such as river course and landscape alterations, industry, municipal waste treatment and agriculture — throughout the Mississippi River Basin.

	Handbook of Texas Online:
		The Gulf of Mexico, under ordinary conditions, has tides of two feet or less, but on the wide and shallow shelf such a variation is quite noticeable.
		The Gulf itself remained nameless until the early 1540s, being considered a part of the Atlantic Ocean or "North Sea." The Spanish name most often applied to it was Seno Mexicano (seno="gulf" or "bay"), although it was occasionally referred to in maps and documents as Golfo de Nueva España, Golfo de México, or a variant.
		The Gulf of Mexico today is a far cry from the pristine sea discovered by Spanish navigators almost half a millennium ago.

	Gulf of Mexico GLORIA geology interpretation
		The U.S. in the Gulf of Mexico can be divided into three major sedimentary provinces: a salt deformation province in the western section, the Mississippi Canyon and Fan system in the central section, and a carbonate province in the eastern section, which is separated from the terrigenous Mississippi Fan by the Florida Escarpment.
		In the western Gulf the Sigsbee Escarpment marks the seaward edge of the salt deformation province.
		The continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico prograded seaward during the Tertiary as a series of depocenters migrated eastward from the Rio Grand River area of Texas to the presently active Mississippi River area in the north-central Gulf.
